Hi Phil,
My name is Don Gabor and I agree with your post that "face to face meetings are still the most effective way of forming relationships."
Below are three links to sites that discuss networking and my new book, Turn Small Talk into Big Deals (McGraw-Hill Professional; April 2009).

I hope you find the information interesting and helpful for people who want to build their business through networking.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at don@dongabor.com
All the best,

(Episode 257; 13min 52) How did people network before Facebook and Linked-in? They were forced into network events, where people who don’t know each other shift uncomfortably on their feet whilst making small talk and glancing regularly at their watches.
Yet, face to face meetings are still the most effective way of forming relationships. Today on BTalk Australia Phil Dobbie talks to Steve Herzberg from NRG Solutions, who offers useful advice on how to get the most from networking functions.
