I think the bigger issue in online networking, though, is that online environments have their own form of etiquette and other cultural standards that people not familiar with it need to learn in order to be effective in it. Perhaps we need a “Communicating the Online Way”!

My point about social networking online was not so much about specific services such as Facebook or LinkedIn as with the point that “I looked in vain for any advice on online networking”. I’m sorry you chose to dismiss this observation so summarily. Given your thesis that, if I may paraphrase, anyone wanting to be effective and successful as part of corporate America needs to accept that the dominant and effective culture is male WASP, I simply don’t understand how business relationships online with Americans can escape completely the challenges you set out so persuasively in terms of the offline world.

I accept that it’s your view that in-person networking is more efficient than online networking, but I wonder where the evidence is.

On another note, I was disappointed to see, with reference to “international etiquette of (online) politeness”, that you chose to lift my whole blog post, rather than, as is both accepted practice and more appropriate in terms of copyright, quoting selectively from the post and linking to it (as you have admittedly done) so that others can read the full post on my blog. I would appreciate it if you could edit the post accordingly.
