See now you guys have me on a roll… I just realized I’m a lot more social than I was giving myself credit for being!
My dog has a twitter account, long story.
One day I was sitting on my front porch with my dog, and a man was walking his little toy manchester. We chatted a bit and his dog and mine were playing in the yard as best they could with both of them being on a leash. It turns out he lives a few streets over.
A few hours later, I get a twitter message on Radar’s Twitter account—“Are you the Radar that my husband and my dog Evie met this evening?” Yes. So we exchanged Twitter messages back and forth, and eventually DM’s then e-mails, then we finally meet for coffee one day.
You reminded me I need to call her to see about lunch one day. :)
I’ve also been to countless Tweetups – a few people I already knew locally, sure, as we all joined Twitter, but many I had not met.
