Wherever you see content posted by members around the site you have the ability to add them as contacts using the "+ Add to my contacts" feature.

By creating contacts, you are able to track other, like minded members' contributions to discussion forums, story talkback and blog postings.

You are also able to view their contacts so as to broaden your social network amongst the ZDNet membership. If two members are tracking each other, they automatically become friends and can track each others contributions.
