Your real network is much bigger
Your real network is much bigger. It is way bigger than you can imagine.
Let us take an example – an example of this person, that is YOU.
Strong Ties: You may have very very strong ties with say 50, 10 or 15 people. These are your family or your very close friends or your confidante. You are connected to them in more ways than one - Phone Numbers, WhatsApp, Facebook, Email, etc.
Weak ties: These are your colleagues, school friends, some neighbors, family connections. You may not be contacting them regularly but you are still connected through at least one medium. It could be that you have their phone number or their email ID. You may have about 150-200 of such contacts in your phone book.
Temporary Ties: These are those people that you have met a once or a few times but never really have their contact details. Examples of this could be your son’s friend’s parent that you met at a school function, or a mechanic that once fixed your car or your co-passenger on that three-hour flight. You have met them, you remember a few attributes and want to reach out but you do not know how. Examples are –
-      James’ Mother-Broadrick Primary-Fremont-USA-British-Citibank (she mentioned to you that she works there)
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Mechanic-Kaki Bukit-Singapore-Volkswagen-Peter
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Vice President-Barclays-Hong Kong-Wealth Management-Sailing
How would you connect with them again if you want to?
Rest of your World: Then there is the entire universe where you are not connected today but you want to reach out. Examples again would be -
-Â Â Â Â Â Â CEO-Malaysia-Harvey Norman
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Starbucks- Brookhurst St-Manager- Anaheim
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Freddie-Curtins-MBA-2006-Australia
Almost all messengers connect you those strong and weak ties, since you have their contact details.
TagTooth goes one step further can connects you with the Temporary ties and Rest of your world.
