I completely agree with the conclusion of a post from earlier this month, that , not in the list.
This would naturally lead to the assumption that perhaps a list is not even necessary -- perhaps one can have a relationship with the people in one's RSS feed. Or one's facebook friends, or tweeps.
But what I would really like to discuss is this:
How does one go about developing a relationship with people who are on a list, reading an RSS feed or a friend on facebook?
What are your thoughts? What has worked for you?
