Words spread quickly due to two reasons: either someone has a good reputation or the opposite. In a society with media like LinkedIn serving as the basis for networking, it is nearly impossible to stand out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For instance, consider the situation of applying for a job. Imagine the hundreds of resumes that a company receives. Perhaps, some resumes are recycled before viewing by potential employers. The chances of being hired are slim, but what happens if the \u201cpeople of influence\u201d know who you are? By having your skills interwoven into your network web, words become an opportunity. Likewise, a brand\u2019s success is based upon \u201cword of mouth\u201d because reputation is acquired when someone knows you and can relate you to your assets.
