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 fact, it was SO good, I am posting the video here for you to watch – it’s called “The Gratitude Dance” and it’s created by some guys called The Grati-Dudes.

I decided I am going to use it as my “comment” calling card for the next few comments I make on my travels around Facebook, Twitter, and the Ning communities I belong to.

There are at least 3 benefits that will come from this:

1.  I set myself apart from the “masses”

2.  The Grati-Dudes will get more plays of their video

3.  It will make people laugh out loud and that’s good for the soul and good for the planet because we’re all connected

4. Bonus insight: It will create a connection between me and the Grati-Dudes…I’ll let them know what I’m doing after I do it.

Here’s the video – Enjoy, get ready to Laugh Out Loud and DO the Gratitude Dance:

After we got off the phone, I did some internet intel (my fav thing to do) in search of other bloggers to see if they were giving their blogs funerals, too. The search was so fruitful, that I decided to do a round-up and post…so here goes, the best of what I found follows:

Blogging is Dead, According to Wired.com

Blogs are so over, Wired magazine says

Blogs are so 2004. They’re dead now, says Paul Boutin (who also writes for Valleywag) in a piece he wrote for Wired magazine. Here’s his argument (such as it is) in a nutshell:. “The blogosphere, once a freshwater oasis of folksy …

Andrew Lewin didn’t want to get left out so he blogged…I thought that was funny
The reports of blogging’s death …

I imagine that the blogosphere is going to be awash with responses to Wired’s controversial piece about how blogging is dead. I didn’t want to get left out, so here’s mine! The Wired article “Twitter, Flickr, Facebook Make Blogs Look So …

Wired’s Paul Boutin joins the “blogs are dead” bandwagon

And I have to disagree completely. Blogging is far from dead—blogging is thriving. According to Paul, the reasons you should skip the blogosphere are, roughly: There are too many other blogs Writing more than 140 characters is too much …

Esther Says Blogs aren’t dead, they’re just resting…
Wired Proclaims Blogs “Dead”: “They’re Just Resting,” Bloggers Claim

I mean, if Wired says blogs are over, what am I still doing here? I wonder what I can do with all the time I used to spend blogging…maybe I should get certified as a yoga instructor or try to devote my time to protesting stuff. …

Who are these wealthy consumers? They average 287k in income and have a net worth of 2.1Million, according to the Luxury Institute.  (and for the more skeptical among you, these survey results are weighted to match demographic and net worth profiles of the same audience according to the latest Federal Reserve survey of consumer finances.)

As overachievers, being connected is natural for them, their participation increased 5 times, to 49%,  they average membership in 2.8 (can we just say 3? How do you participate in .8??) networks, and have about 110 connections.

• 16% MySpace (really? how interesting – that site drives me nuts with it’s busy-ness and blaring musical profiles
• 13% Linkedin (per LI, a large percentage of CEOs visit daily)
• 11% Facebook (one of my favorites, it’s very interesting to see what my creative friends are up to – however, please stop inviting me to events in Australia, I’m NOT coming, but feel free to visit me when you are in Sunny San Diego, CA)

Most rapid acceleration is in the over 55 crowd (you know what they say about us boomers, we refuse to grow up LOL!)
