Heck yeah, I enjoy networking! Hopin and Lunchclub are my go-to tools for virtual networking and 1:1 convos with interesting peeps. Way more chill than in-person events and you can connect with people all over. I'm always down to expand my network online. đđ»
Finding and truly connecting with people on the internet it's a massive challenge today.
This is accentuated by the fact that 50% of linkedins posts are made by AI.
This problem is only getting worst as other platforms (Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) are also all flooded by AI content.
I've just uploaded a discussin on PH about this exactly theme - AI and Networking
I am working in a project that aims solve or at least minimize this issue.

Ah, networkingâsome call it âschmoozing,â I call it âmaking friends with a purpose.â Do I enjoy it? Honestly, yes, most of the time! Hereâs why:
Networking isnât just about business cards and LinkedIn connections; itâs about finding people who inspire you, teach you, or share your quirks. Iâve met folks who turned out to be collaborators, mentors, and even just good coffee-chat companions.
But, letâs be realâawkward silences and forced conversations? Not my jam. Thatâs why I approach networking with curiosity instead of an agenda. Asking genuine questions (like, âWhatâs the coolest part of your day job?â) makes it feel less transactional and more fun.
For instance, working on pdf to pdf.ai, Iâve found networking invaluable. Itâs not just about pitchingâitâs about learning how others use AI tools, solving shared challenges, and swapping ideas over a mutual love of productivity hacks.
How about you, Marc? Networking: thrilling or just meh for you?
Yes, I enjoy networking as it allows me to connect with people and exchange ideas. Interestingly, I recently discovered how an ad blocker for spotify enhances my listening experience. It lets me focus on building connections without interruptions, much like how a good network smoothens communication. The way technology improves different aspects of life, like removing ads on streaming platforms, shows how thoughtful innovations can enrich our daily experiences.
