Learn what each of you is doing. Go with the "headset" of sharing information. You never know where the conversation will lead. Regarding Facebook and other social networking sites: They are good for three things: 1. SEO 2. Finding who people are 3. Finding out who they know Then you need to pick up the phone and talk! Marls:

Regarding Facebook and other social networking sites: They are good for three things:
1. SEO
2. Finding who people are
3. Finding out who they know

Then you need to pick up the phone and talk!

Your comments about affinity networks inspired another idea for me which I'll be acting on. I worked at one company for 16 years and developed dozens of relationships there. Not only have I moved on but so have those many people I had connections with. Though I've connected with many on LinkedIn, I haven't done much to promote my services as a consultant to them in their new organizations but will think of an approach. (Feel free to chime in if you have ideas on that.) Thanks for the "spark". Best, Marla Hi Joanne.
