I think one of the keys that will help folks to network is practice. Talk to people more often. I hate to say how many awkward situations I’ve seen where an obviously smart developer-hopeful introduces themselves and then the awkward silence begins. It’s not fun to watch or be part of. Kind of like poking yourself repeatedly in the eye.

Of course that’s usually about the time I start trying to facilitate a conversation… but I digress, and I don’t know if that’s always a good thing.
