For whatever reason, I've been told that I'm a pretty good networker. Probably because I can't stop talking and I'm always at least a little bit drunk. But also, I think in general I'm also not intimidating (so try to be 5'4 or shorter if you can) and I'm prompt about following up and returning emails.

If networking doesn't come easily to you, either because you're shy or you feel phony, then never fear: WorldWit has some tips on how to do the deed well, whether you're at a networking party, conference, panel or some other such shindig.
