In my case, I think I've built up a network here in Boston that is solid, and that can remain so if I continue to use all of the online channels (e-mail, Twitter, blog commenting, etc.) to remain in touch and stay connected. But I also hope that I can travel back here to make the occasional in-Person appearance at events. My approach is to maintain and strengthen relationships through a mix of virtual and face-to-face connections. Social media makes the former feasible. Airplanes, in my case, should help with the latter! Hope to see you at an SMB Boston this fall, Doug. Thanks for your kind wishes today.
