Napoleon Dynamite’s Social Networking Advice

I was cruising through the archives of The Talent Buzz the other day and came across an article called Gosh! Napoleon Dynamite’s Guide To Social Networking. Not only is it good for a laugh, it also has some great advice when it comes to getting the most out of your social networking activities.

The article itself takes actual quotes from the movie and uses them to illustrate how to be a better social networker.

Here’s an example:

Put your connections to work for others so they get sweet stuff, too.

“Pedro offers you his protection.”

You may not know somebody with skills to save people from certain destruction, but you might know the owner of the best place in town to get tots when you’re hungry! A great networker isn’t just a resource but a channel through which the needs and talents of others connect. A good friend comes to your house and tries to help you fix your toilet. A great networker knows a trustworthy plumber who will fix your toilet and takes you out for a drink to celebrate the victory!

Both funny and true.

Anyway, it’s an easy read with some excellent advice along the way. Any one who has a Facebook page who loves this movie should check out Gosh! Napoleon Dynamite’s Guide To Social Networking.
