True. I’m at two face-to-face events next week. One of them - the Manchester Social Media Cafe - very much sees the value of getting together in person and sharing ideas, despite the fact that we’re all social media devotees.

Perhaps the new rule is meet face to face once you’ve connected online. However, I can think of a great number of examples of people connecting at industry events. Still a great way to communicate.

John
I’m with you on the old friend/new connections front.
What used to be the preserve of spending endless time at networking events can now be done from the desktop. Of course, it’s great to get face to face, put a face to a name, etc, but as tools such as Twitter have shown, it’s not a prerequisite.

Hi Jon, Thanks for commenting on the post, I agree with your sentiment about constant learning. Every new tools gives us an opportunity to explore how to conduct dialogue and build community. Twitter for example, has been a tool that have left many naysayers wondering why the noise is important. Yet for me, the chance to see the conversation in between blog posts has given me new insight into old friends and driven opportunities for new connections. That’s what’s exciting about social media, what will be next?
