For example, I work entirely virtually, for clients all around the world. It therefore makes more sense for me to network online (almost exclusively). That's where I can find the type of people in my market. If someone works predominantly with local or regional clients, they might find offline networking much more rewarding, such as through seminars, classes, conventions, or networking groups. Those who work with a broader mix of clients would probably want to incorporate both sides - online <i>and</i> offline networking. Omar – it really depends on your target market.
