Recently while visiting the great city of Nashville, TN, I had the opportunity to take some online friendships to a whole new level. I met real people in person for the first time who I only knew through the Internet. Now I don’t feel so weird referring to them as friends because they aren’t just some avatar that comment on my blog and talk to me on Twitter. I hope that I get to take more of my online friendships to the offline level at some point.
As I pondered over how these friendships developed enough that we made an effort to meetup, I began to wonder how many people read my blog and follow me on Twitter that I have not made a connection with. Okay, so a lot of you I knew in person before I started the blog. Dad, I know you don’t Twitter or have a blog, but I think that you could have a great blog.
For those of you that have an online presence on a blog or Twitter, I want to get to know you better. I want to know more about the lurking community here. So here is your opportunity to pimp yourself and your online presence. Leave a comment with your blog and/or Twitter account and tell us why you like to read my blog. If you don’t have a blog or Twitter account, then just share why you like to read my blog. The last part is to boost my ego a little.
I hope to meet some new people, and maybe one day we’ll have the chance to meet in person if we haven’t already.
I've always appreciated the variety of topics on this weblog…and you're a pretty cool fella…
I can verify that Sean….Churchpunk is one cool dude.
So, when you coming back to Nashville? I think next time we need to set up a tweetup when Tam and such are in town.
