Who you know?

I was chatting with a friend of mine today over IM. A Swedish friend that I know from living in San Francisco. I was telling him about something work related that is happening (perhaps I'll tell more later) and how I don't really know that many people in the company Headquarters any more. As he told me, "it's not who you know ... it's who knows you." I think that's actually truer than it's origin. Like it a lot.
