There are many people I am friends with on different social media sites where I don't know in real life. I use social networks differently then most people I think. Most people use social networks to keep in contact with their friends. I, on the other hand, use social networks to find interesting people, converse with them, and then when I have had much fun with them on these networks, I proceed to then meet them in real life. When the term Web 2.0 was popular way back in 2009, I used to call this behavior Web 3.0. I meet people this way from all social networks—networks which you won't think that it is possible to meet people but somehow I did.
+ Delicious (social bookmarking site): I met David Bausola (zeroinfluencer) because I was researching the interactive agency R/GA and he also appear to be tagging a lot of their content.
+ LibraryThing (social book collection site—way before GoodReads existed): I met Juhan Sonin this way. LibraryThing has an interesting feature which compares library according to similarity. As a designer + technologist, I have a rather unusual library which spans both design and technology. Juhan also is an interaction designer and so he also reads design, technology and photography. When I met him on Libraryathing, our library has a 75% overlap. It's too bad that he's straight as otherwise I would so date him! :)
+ FriendFeed (the super awesome share everything site which Facebook bought): I met Deborah Hustic (a Linux-loving technology blogger who blogs about everything from wearable technology to Linus distros). I met Sofarsoshawn (a super awesome crazy funny gay writer in Canada). I met Ode Andersson (an awesome Swedish guy who crazily enjoys my Facebook posts)—swedes are awesome! The people I met on FriendFeed I don't yet meet but I plan on visiting Europe next year or two and I plan on meeting all of them when I do! The social web is unbound by geographical locations. We are all connected through hashtags and data analytics. It is amazing that way. Use it. Harness it. Make web your own.
