I was reading an amusing piece today called A Blog is Your Home. Twitter is Happy Hour. And How You Can Make Friends With Authors. While it seems to bill itself as an article on the various layers of social networking, it’s really about building and maintaining relationships.

I don’t want to spend too much time re-hashing what the author has already written, but I think that it would serve to reiterate two important points about networking.

1. There is more than one way to network online
2. Regardless of what method(s) you use, you need to keep in contact with the people in your network.

This all ties back to my recent article The Three Best Ways To Contact Your Contacts and why it is important to work towards maintaining your relationships.
