Size = Power?
When Linkedin first started, I received many invitations to join people’s network. One of the key attractions of social network at the beginning is to have a large circle of network, which in a way, represents large circle of influence and power. An interesting question is whether a large network really mean a person have more power? The answer is probably no. In fact, one cannot find CEOs of the high tech world such as Bill Gates from Microsoft, John Chambers from Cisco, Jerry Yang from Yahoo in any social networks. So in a way, a person have a large network might mean that he is lacking of absolute power because he still need to connect to apply influence. Power and influence does not shift because of this kind of cyberworld connections.
The same question applies to blog readership. As I started to develop this personal blog, I am wondering if more readership means more influence and power? Do I want more readers or just the right circle of readers? Maybe not having a blog shows the world that I don’t need to say anything to get attention
