It's definitely a way to meet and talk to more people from more places. But how valuable those connections will actually be compared to 'real life' connections I'm not sure. Through writing my blog and my twitter I recently got invited to an interview. There is no way that would have happened if I hadn't made connections online. I have heard that the majority of jobs are not advertised. I tried to find a statistic for this but according to various results on Google 60, 65, 70 and up to 80 per cent of jobs are not advertised. So, I'm not too sure about the actual percentage, but I'm fairly sure it's true. I think making connections online might be a lot easier than in ‘real life’.
