What is the difference between finding them and having them find you?

It’s a world of difference. By making myself exposed online and approachable that way I filter possible contacts. It saves me a whole lot of work because I tell on my web sites and on-line profiles what I am looking for and how I am. This way the people that would like to see me will get in touch, and the ones that don’t like something will just move on.

The more unique and specialized your interests are the more difficult it is to find other people with the very same interests among the general population. The Internet is the resource that allows people from any place and any combination of interests to find each other to collaborate.

You can stay home waiting for strangers to stop by and introduce themselves to you. The more you tell the world who you are and what you want, the more the world will give it to you.
