The principles are the same, though. You have the gist of it: contact everyone you know. You're working the emails and tweets.
The downside is that without being careful you can come to be seen as a user. I see this mostly with people who get sucked into Amway or some other such can't-legally-refer-to-it-as-a-pyramid-scheme.
I wonder if the startup economy has sprouted any fixers yet -- those infinitely connected people everyone goes through because everyone goes through them.
Definitely true. I think they certainly exist in the startup economy just because that's the way things seem to work. It's the 80/20 rule. The vast majority of people are connected to a smaller subset that make it their business to know everyone.
