While it's true that you can't be everywhere, it is also true that nurturing your professional relationships could help you hear the knock when opportunity comes calling. The little things done right there can help to foster career growth. We tend to sometimes use social media too casually. Tuned just right, it is a minimal effort tool for managing our relationships en masse.

Facebook makes many aspects of your life more convenient. It's an easy way to stay in touch, it reminds you of your friends' birthdays, and it can sync your contacts and Facebook events to your smartphone. And before you know it, you depend on Facebook. Or maybe other people depend on being friends with you on Facebook. Part of this dependence is in Facebook stepping in to manage your contacts.

Rapportive For Chrome Intro Image

Have you ever received an email and wondered if it was legitimate or not? Or maybe you have corresponded with someone and were curious to know more about them. Of course you could ask, but it might come across awkward or simply off-topic to what is being discussed. Plus, do you really want to ask each person you encounter online through email what their social accounts are, what they do, where they’re from and so on? Likely not.

The contacts synchronization feature on my smartphone prompted me to get my contacts in order. I was rewarded for this effort a few months later when that same cellphone started breaking down, and decided to do away with all of my data — emails, contacts, applications — the whole lot of it. Restoring it all from the cloud took a measly five minutes. And yet I've never been able to get my contacts sorted out on my Mac. I guess I don't like Address Book.

In my entire life, I think I can honestly say that the single most annoying task (and the one I am worst at), is maintaining an updated list of the addresses, phone numbers and birthdays of all of my friends, family and colleagues. Lately I've been looking for an alternative to using a computer application or a mobile app to maintain a contact database. I believe I found the perfect solution.

One advantage of the Internet is that you can build relationships with a wide range of people from various demographics that you may never physically meet. Social network sites like Twitter and Facebook are worldwide Internet forums in which we can get news and information in a short amount of time.

Do you have a central contacts list? It's pretty difficult to nowadays. In my case, it's a near impossibility. I've simply changed services too many times, failing to copy all of my contacts over each time I move. You know what we could all use? A consolidation tool. Something that will connect with all of my old services and pull all of my contacts.

There are a lot of web-based business card apps out there, sure, but I can't seem to stick with any of them, and a lot of the phone apps require that the other user have the same app as me, which is rarely the case.
