I'm late to the party I suppose. Regardless, there are some great points here. <BR/><BR/>In the various talks I give on integrating social media/building a personal brand online, I make the point that I believe F2F communication is always our ultimate goal. <BR/><BR/>For some folks, myself included, it is easier, more expedient, and in some cases, more comfortable to make acquaintances online before F2F. I admit I've found jobs and contacts through Twitter, as well as good friends who became better friends once we had a "tweetup."<BR/><BR/>Human beings will always crave the companionship of others. The computer can't replace that. It can just provide another way of reaching that goal. <BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15724579.post-17683903266795515482008-05-13T02:18:00.000-07:002008-05-13T02:18:00.000-07:00hi,Th new tools of interaction is a relatively re...hi,<BR/><BR/>Th new tools of interaction is a relatively recent phenomenon, good or bad will be known over a period of time, but nothing to beat it when you want to network with like minded people whom you have not met, or would have got an oppurtunity to meet in conventional face to face interaction, this possibility open new vistas of collobaration in our field of interest. This could also be a great tool to enhance the face to face meeting, being a precursor for greater interaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15724579.post-26340379086015465662008-05-06T12:37:00.001-07:002008-05-06T12:37:00.001-07:00Hi Jim!

I've always been a big fan of the F2F experience and couldn't agree with you more that it's becoming more and more important as we wade deeper into the social media pool. <BR/><BR/>BTW... I saw Kathy Sierra speak this year as SXSW and all I can say is "wow." Run don't walk to see her if she presents live again. <BR/><BR/>Jim<BR/>@jstorerj on TwitterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15724579.post-1498622361196916702008-05-05T08:52:00.000-07:002008-05-05T08:52:00.000-07:00Hi Kevin!

I believe the new tools make that need/desire to connect "live" even stronger. <BR/><BR/>Live events become MORE necessary, not less, as our ability to connect globally increases.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!bschlenkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519463877110474192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15724579.post-71701586607779517752008-05-03T16:02:00.000-07:002008-05-03T16:02:00.000-07:00Great points.

We are richer individuals when we connect, regardless of the tools, means, locations, etc. Web 2.0 tools have helped me to connect with others in ways not possible before, helping me to share with and learn from others, as well as make new real-life friends. I still love F2F conferences and meetings, but am grateful to have new tools in my network kit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
