Now imagine if you could click right through into your business web site where you provide the details that turn curiosity into prospect into customer. Rally Software has always been in the forefront of attracting attention this way, that is how I first found out about it. While I do not see myself progressing across the line from curiosity to prospect, that is because I pursue a different paradigm, even as I embrace Agile for projects where I have a good use for it: this has been very successful, by the way. While we sometimes agree to disagree, I always enjoy the posts and replies that they generate. It may be a sobering thought, but more people and firms should consider how they can raise sharing ideas to an art as true examples of networking. I think that by raising awareness in your posts you are a true example of what networking is about. Keep up the good work.
