Matt, thanks for the comment – in the early days we talked a lot about how this was a PRM… alas, that domain was taken!

And you are right, I should actually use JibberJobber to store my elevator pitch (you can do that in Interview Prep, under the Me in 30 Seconds)…

… for all of those that don’t know Matt or what he’s doing, check out his blog post here – this is a great example of the personal branding that I’ve been talking about (with a unique twist): http://voxpopdesign.com/bloomburst/1/2006/09/Online-Business-Day-14.cfm

Jason,

Thanks for that post. That helped clear up some of the confusion that I also had about JibberJobber, ie. “So… um… I can graph my network?… um, yeah”.

A lot of what I’m hearing makes it sound like JibberJobber isn’t necessarily social networking. It’s more like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) on the personal level, or PRM (ooo – there you go, it even as ‘PR’ in the acronym).

Maybe it would also be helpful to hone your elevator pitch using Paul Kedrosky’s boilerplate:

If you can summarize what you just said in this post to two paragraphs you may just have a winner.
