Earl has a nice riff on Euan’s post about the real value in networks being the people and not the technology.
Euan puts a better suit on something I’ve been saying since I found out what end-to-end meant. That the ends in question are not devices but their users
He goes on:
The problem for many “networkers” is that you can’t do it by going to a conference and splashing your business card about and having 3-minute dates. You get there by persistence shared resources, gifts of knowledge or help… those who think in terms of silver bullets and best practise wont even be in the game.
Yep, another blow to the lovers of organisational diagrams…
