If I do a twitter search on that word, I get pages and pages of links and articles which I cannot read. But I would be willing to bet that there are some serious networkers (some of those links. Good luck.

For network marketing, I look at old fashioned face to face networking as the way to go. Find opportunities to meet people and work them toward being customers and then toward being partners promoting the product for you.
