When it comes to relationships, it can feel like you are traversing a minefield at times.  But, who created those mines?   Usually, by the time I realize that the apprehension I start to feel from a relationship comes only from me, I've missed a golden opportunity. Keith Ferrazzi makes some excellent points about this topic in a recent blog post.  Keith wrote a book titled "Never Eat Alone - and other secrets to success, one relationship at a time". I believe that relationships are a fundamental key to success.  I can't count the number of people I've met, then let slip from my address book.  Does a system exist to track your communications with friends, the emails you send, the phone conversations you have?  The closest thing I've found is a CRM system, but I think that is geared too much towards driving the relationship into a profit-making sale.  Who knows, this might be a great opportunity for some home grown code in the future.
