"Get to Know ConnectorsMalcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point contains insights about how certain ideas and behaviors spread throughout societies. Gladwell observes that "connectors" are key to this process. These are people who know many folks and constantly meet new ones. Connectors can also be useful in your job search. Try to make contact with these types of people. They're friendly, so getting to know them shouldn't be too hard. -- Thad Peterson "

I used to be "these types of people".
