E-mail has replaced phone calls and letters, and with the mass adoption of cell phones, text messaging increasingly handles short bursts of communication. Internet tools have advanced to what people refer to as Web 2. Sites such as LinkedIn have started to replace the older ways of accessing your social network. Of course, this is all dependent upon the fact that you, Michael, and Eric are all members of LinkedIn.
This means you can spend more time doing research on potential opportunities like finding a job or a new employee for your business as well as receiving information from the larger network and not just your immediate friends.
This makes the network more useful because you can literally see the map that connects you with other people. You still have to manage your connections and use the network to gain more connections or knowledge.

You can reach any second-degree network member by asking your first-degree connection to pass along an Introduction from you to his or her friend. I discuss Introductions more in Chapter 5. You can reach any third-degree network member by asking your friend to pass along an Introduction from you to his or her friend, who then passes it to his or her friend, who is the third-degree member.
So, how powerful can these connections be? Figure Only three degrees of separation can give you a network of millions. Their goal is to network with as many people as possible, regardless of past interaction or communication with that person.
