Amazing. Simply amazing.
I am not particularly comfortable or confident in this online world. I have been blogging for just over 2 years, twittering just a few months and still playing with Facebook. To say I feel 2 steps behind, on a good day, is generous. Yet, I have no intention of jumping off the grid any time soon.
I am jumping in with both feet and invite you to join me. Why? There are amazing possibilities online. There are people from different professions, backgrounds, time zones and generations. They bring their thoughts, ideas, opinions, and questions. They are generous and curious. Don't be surprised, but they are looking for you too.
Talk about unprecedented reach.

I agree 100% with your thoughts. I see firsthand just about every single day how making these online and 'real life' connections are so valuable and important. No matter how 'small' or 'focused' your interests or expertise are, there are scores of like-minded folks to learn from, and to benefit from your knowledge and experience. The landscape shifts so rapidly, the preferred tools and technologies of today will likely be replaced by the next big thing a couple of 18 year olds are dreaming up, but the fundamental ideas of connecting, sharing, and learning will remain. Nice post!
