David,

Agree, communication is all about messages and goals - networking, I'm suggesting, is more about relationships and social capital.

David Locke

Sorry, but networking is communications. Goals and such are content. What did we communicate before networking whether social or technical? Nothing!

The cave paintings were about the hunt. Communications about the hunt were oriented towards the achievement of the goal of survival.

All media transfers the communications artifact as the realization of a set of requirements, otherwise known as goals. That the media has a NIC card or a smile attached isn't particularly different in regards to goal orientation.
