People management

In Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell wrote about a man, who had enormous amount of contacts. And this thing worked for him, because he was a link between them, connector.

It’s good to have a lot of contacts but it is also very important to stay online with even the weakest links (that finally can give you even more). And here comes the People management. And the question is – how you manage your contacts?

For me contacts are like projects, you have to fulfill promises, given to them, say hello at least once in a few months and remember their birthdays. Does anyone of you use some kind of a system to make this work easier? Or maybe there is software for such tasks?
