Following up with your network...

How do you guys go about casually maintaining your network? I have a pretty big list of contacts who I have had good exchanges with but I'm not sure how to maintain correspondence. What sorts of things do you guys do to maintain that network beyond informational interviews that have already taken place?

If there is something that comes up in national news, shoot an email over. You can also ask advice on types of opportunities. I asked a tech/healthcare i-banker about growth equity investment groups, how much they interact with bankers vs. being passive investors who let management deal with their IPO process.
