I was talking with someone from out of country and it took her awhile to realize that when asked <em>How are you doing</em>, a thorough answer wasn't actually sought. In the states, answers like "ok" or "fine" do just fine. What are your thoughts on that? @Aaron I agree.

Capture it a second time is the golden rule (when you forget to capture it the first time)! And on the paying attention to the person part of the equation: this is a dying art. Actually listening to someone when they talk is a lost form. Ignoring your buzzing cell phone and laptop computer is becoming harder and harder for a majority of folks. We will never remember names; unless we ignore all of our technical distractions (and fast pace of life) and pay attention to the person, actually listen to what they are saying and remembering their name.
