Tipping Point Ch 2

I liked chapter 2 of the Tipping Point it was very interesting to see Gladwelll elborate on the Law of the Few by giving us specific examples we can relate to. The most interesting argument he prestented in the chapter was when he was talking about his friend Horchow. Most of us have acquaintances to try to see if we want to keep them as friends or not. We just pass them on a day to day basis, say a quick hello, or only have a few encounters with them out of the entire year. Where as Horchow sends birthday cards, friendly emails, and referances to restaruants he thinks are good to people. He collected data that everyone could relate to. It made me think how many of my facebook friends do I really talk to and why? Should I delete the ones I do no0t talk to, should I keep them there and get to know them since I already know all of the others I talk to day to day or on a daily basis. I also liked how he further explained the difference between the connector and the maven. Mavens have information to share, a purpose where as connectors just know alot of people. I have found that I have a connector and a maven from two of my close friends in college. Before I probably would have thought they were both just connectors but reading this chapter helped me distinguish between the two. This was a good chapter!!!
