Sometimes it seems so overwhelming to monitor Twitter, update my LinkedIn page and keep my blog relevant. Taking the time to monitor other blogs and comment can become time constuming, especially if I'm not doing it during work hours. However, what I have noticed is that the more you do it, the easier it becomes. I enjoy reading other blogs and offering my opinions. I love seeing people ping back to me or recognize my contributions. That isn't me being self-centered. That is simply me being excited to be in a two-way conversation.

Reach out to other people for the simple sake of doing so, recommend their work just because it was good, and then positive juju will invariably come back around to you in some way, shape, or form.

I strongly believe in the physical meeting in the end to be able to deepen a relationship or you have to be brave and share real personal things online to be able to "go somewhere" with you online-relationship-networking-friends who you have never met. With the people I feel strongly about I always try to get that physical meeting in the end. Nowadays with cheap airline tickets available it´s rather easy to make a trip somewhere to meet up. Using video, webcam and broadband/IP phonecalls and chat tools like www.Skype.com, GTalk great ways instand ways of coming closer to your online friends. Features that´s becoming standard functionality. But then again how technical are we and do we understand how to use all these fancy technologies? Is there a risc that it getting to complicated? It´s also interesting that Xing, Facebook and LinkedIn, seem to be the most valueable networks at the moment with Facebook becoming more and more an active online meetling place. I have been a member of Xing (OpenBC) for 2 1/2 years and now it´s becoming a bit more active but nothing compared to Facebook. I´m a rather new member of Facebook ( a couple of weeks) and I will keep it rather small, to be able to do online networking meetings as real, effective and meaningful as possible. To get the most out of my online networking I believe it´s important to understand why I´m a member of a specific online network, then I can start using it for my purposes, whether it´s private or business.

Building relationships is like planting seeds to grow a garden of people who know you, trust you, and ultimately, when they really understand the value that you bring to the table WILL refer you. Giver's Gain is a term that was coined some time ago in "in-person" networking circles - the idea that just by thinking about others' needs and going out of your way to respond with ideas and support creates amazing loyalty and trust, whether virtual or in person. Ultimately, it becomes fun, yes FUN, to make connections because if you have an abundant mindset and some good connections, the possibilities are endless.

This is a very good way to meet people and become a 'compulsory reference' in a given topic. The most you give, the most people want to work with you...and even pay you for doing so.

I just like to answer questions though. A lot of them do turn into plugs for my company because I come across someone that honestly can use my service, but the questions I enjoy answering the most are from the Ethics and Management categories and really feel like I'm talking with someone or helping someone out.

There are so many networking sites out there that it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of them. It's also tempting to react mechanically and without thinking.
