“Another funny thing that happened, that can be related into the community culture: I was mistakenly “pulled' into a chat with about 10 other folks. I can't remember who invited me, but suddenly there I was, in an MSN chat with 10 strangers. All of them looked just as surprised as I was. Looking at the email aliases I could recognize at least two bloggers that I know of - Colt and James Avery. While Colt went off the chat in a breeze, I exchanged a couple of words with James (although less than a minute) and it felt a little like running into him on the street, like an old friend. How crazy is that? The sense of community here is pretty awesome IMHO.”
It was pretty funny, and it was great to talk to Roy (who is supposed to be adding me to his IM), and I also ran into another guy who happens to be working in Cleveland. What a cool way to meet people. I know it was an accident on whoever pulled us in there, but it ended up working out pretty well.... maybe I will start selecting ten random people and inviting them to a conversation and see what happens.
