C&P of the conversation I had w/ Hugo just now. I agree…I discussed the whole network theory, but not really what purpose they have. This might clarify it:

Did u read my entry about Scale-Free networks??
hugo – says:
i skimmed thru it
hugo – says:
i mean
hugo – says:
i think u want to be a hub
hugo – says:
something like that
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
yeah its an interesting topic…u should check out the website I linked too…crazy stuff
hugo – says:
the way u flip it though
hugo – says:
you’re a capitalist
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
LOL always have been
hugo – says:
you want to have a network to get rich
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
Mmmm…not so much…more to know people!
hugo – says:
i didnt get that idea
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
Someone who’s an activist isn’t gonna’ necessarily get much for me…
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
but it could just be useful to know people in that area…
hugo – says:
that’s what im asking though
hugo – says:
what’s useful
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
the more connections you have, the more connections YOUR connections have.
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
e.g. if I have contacts @ Merck Frosst…
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
I might not need them later, but one of MY contacts might have just finished Biology, and needs a hookup. My friend isnt connected, but I am. I can help him/her out. That’s the part I like as well!
hugo – says:
i get that
hugo – says:
for what?
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
Just to help
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
Of course, if that person is connected in other ways, then they can help me eventually
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
Life is a big network with certain people naturally becoming the ‘hubs’ I would like to be one of those. Not necessarily to get rich, but so I can help people…again, if a consequence of helping people is that I become rich, then it’s a byproduct, but not my main goal.
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
Damn I should save all this and c/p in my blog…in case ppl misunderstood! lol
hugo – says:
yeah
hugo – says:
i mean
hugo – says:
u talked about the networks
hugo – says:
but not really the purpose of them
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
aaaah….good point.
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
Would u mind if I copy/pasted this convo. into my blog?
hugo – says:
not at all
the1truecoolguy.blogspot.com says:
Aight. Done.
