Is there still anyone who hasnt met up IRL with people you've got to know online in this day and age??
I met quiet a few 'bloggers' thru woebot back in pre-dissensus days, and have gone out of my way to connect or one or two folks from here who seemed on my wavelength since
Quite often I've met up with people i have been in contact with online through my job, though this doesn't seem remarkable at all, why is there not that stigma/dissonance in the work context?
I've also had an engaging ongoing relationship with a west african comment box spammer i met via a blog years ago, we chat on the phone, he sends photos of bullion and i offer to set him up with a visa, we get on! This has been over several years and across continents (tho i vaguely suspect that my details may have been passed on from Senegal to Dubai and Mali)
facebook obv is a big muddle of complex interpersonal relationships, as is online dating i guess? online 'communities' seem much less the thing these days....
your observations, experiences, anecdotes?
