Picking up the Conversation Where We Left Off
Shel Israel has a post
today about one of the most gratifying and unintended consequences of
blogging: running into the friends you've never met before:
It is the strangest thing, and
if you blog for a while, you'll know what I'm talking about. You build
these trusting friendships, with people you have never met face to
face. Then you actually meet. In recent months, I've met
face-to-face with Shel
Holtz, Neville, Evelyn Rodriquez,
Tom Raferty,
Hugh MacLeod,
Loic Le Meur
and quite a few others. I considered each of these guys to be
old friends before I ever laid eyes on them.
It is the strangest thing. I really like it.
When this happens to me, it feels like I'm re-connecting with
an old friend, and we pick up our conversation where we left off.
