A strange thing happened yesterday. I’ve been doing this “blog” thing for several months now, and have noticed how these little “cyber-communities” start to develop. A common practice is to put links to your friends on the sidebar of your page. As you read your friends’ blogs, you may explore their links and end up reading someone’s blog whom you’ve never met before. Additionally, the conversations going on in the comments may be carried on by virtual strangers. However, as time goes on, you kind of get familiar with certain individuals, and may even regularly read his/her blog. Anyway, (so much for a concise post) It turns out I have a class with Jon Kever, whom I’ve read through Matt’s and Jerod’s blogs. So we had this kind of awkward introduction, and attempt to make small talk, which is the normal way to make a friend. However, in this context, small talk seems even more bizarre than usual because you are already “acquainted” in a sense. Indeed a very interesting experience…and a pleasure.
