I’m in L.A. to wrap up Pick My NHL Team.com. After meeting so many people I started thinking about how do you maintain your network? Here are two of my favorite tips.
1. Birthday Wishes on Facebook – It only takes you 10 seconds to write a customized Facebook message to your friends on their birthday. Let them know you’re thinking about them and maintain that connection.
2. Sort a “Connect With” Tweetdeck Column – Create a filtered column of 10-15 people that you want to get to know better and keep in touch with in 2010. Make that time investment in these people and reach out to them on Twitter at least once every two weeks.
