Online Networking and Face-to-Face Networking - both can be Social!
Although I am deeply fascinated by the plethora of opportunities afforded by new online social networking technologies, nothing can replace meeting and engaging with people face-to-face. F2F interaction is the basic human condition and essential for happy life and living. As a musician (well drummer!) I appreciate the quality of music is higher when I am playing with other musicians in front of a real crowd rather than in front of music technology by myself. However without the hard graft alone the performances will not reach highs.
The same goes for social networking. Sitting at home by a screen can lead to broader range of contacts, you can quickly establish common ground and themes for connection. But without meeting up these relationships will not flourish as well.
That is why I believe the Centre for Creativity and CSI: High Wycombe are key initiatives for this network and for Wycombe District overall. Its is through face-to-face meetings and collaboration that we can energise each other for greater success.

How WycombeNetwork started!
I posted this blog on another site back in March. I was thinking of using Wyspace for this site, instead I have opted for WycombeNetwork.com. This is a simpler name and does what it says on the tin! Anyway the sentiments of the blog remain the same. Just read WycombeNetwork.com for Wyspace!
