If you build the right network by design (vs. accident) around you, you’ll never have to worry about what the economy is doing again.

Connectivity is truly the new currency.  Being in the right network can make all the difference between real business success and business mediocrity.

The first thing you need to do to start the process of building your social network by design is to uncover what I like to call your Social Networking D.N.A. (Distinct Networking Advantage).

Knowing your Social Networking D.N.A. means you have a real understanding of the value you can bring TO others.  Why are you valuable to network with? Stop and really think about the answer to that question for a minute. It’s a foreign feeling for most.

But, if you network in the circles that I have found myself in, simply by virtue of the work I’ve done for the past five years with the super high-achiever Alpha males, then you best have an answer if you want to uplevel your network any time soon.

In spite of the cultural and social revolution in the rise of social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace (and in South Korea, Cyworld), the business viability of these sites remains in question.

While many sites are attempting to follow Google and generate revenues from advertising, will advertising be effective? If friends influence the purchases of a user in a social network, it could potentially be a significant source of revenue for the sites and their corporate sponsors.

Using a unique data set from Cyworld, this study empirically assesses if friends indeed influence purchases. The answer: It depends. Findings are relevant for social networking sites and large advertisers.

We are going to launch an experiment tonight in The Pit – it’s a cool futuristic lounge where LOTS of deal making is going on from 7 a.m. -12 a.m. Here’s the experiment: There’s a woman here – Carolyn Huynh, who is raising capital to be able to launch her anti-aging product. It’s a secret herbal recipe passed down from her grandmother to her father to her. I don’t know what’s in it (it’s an Ancient Chinese Secret after all)but what I do know is that it cures you from the inside out of whatever happens to be ailing you at the time. Low energy? GONE! Red rashy skin on face? GONE! Menstrual Cramps? GONE! Headache? GONE! It works FAST. Just mix it with water and drink. And it doesn’t have any taste (a BIG plus). So after a week at ANY CEO Space, you are drained. Tired. Brain is mush. At 9:45 tonight, we’re going to pass out samples to everyone in The Pit. And see if it revives them. And Tweeting as we do. Stay tuned…

I forget that I live in San Diego and have so many interesting things I can do. Took this pic of the giant WWII Sailor kissing an equally giant Nurse (the pic made famous around the world) that sits on the San Diego Bay directly across from the U.S.S. Midway museum…it’s pretty freaky close up I must say
