How many people on Mahalo Answers have you met in real life?

I know one of the users here in real life and I have chatted with a few of them outside of Mahalo directly. I am also a member of a few message boards and know a few people from each of them in real life. I don't feel the need to meet with every person I know online, but it is nice to at least have a picture and hear their voices to refer back to when I see their posts.

Mahalo Answers has a different type of community, but I'd still be interesting in meeting some of the people whose names I run across in the categories I spend the most time in. The way I see it there is no competition between online and real communities. I have friends in each and I just adjust my activities with friends based on whether they are online or down the block.

I can play online games with the online friends, and go to the park to play basketball with the real friends.

Just you. And I haven't actually come out from behind the bushes in front of your house and introduced myself yet, so really, I would have to say "none". But could you bring me some tea or something.It's really starting to get cold out here.

No face to face meetings were we breathe the same air. Distance takes care of that. However, I have connected with some people from here, beyond Mahalo.

I have met one person on Mahalo Answers IRL, but we met because of myspace! A couple of years ago, MySpace had several An Inconvenient Truth showings at theaters across the US. I went to the one in San Antonio and met a cool group of college students.

We watched the movie together and shared some appetizers. Afterward, we added each other on myspace and then other social networks. When I "earned" $100 on MA, I tweeted about it.So one of my An Inconvenient Truth friends joined MA to check it out.

I don't think he has done anything other than sign up though. I add people on here as friends if they answer well the questions that I ask or if they award my answer as best answer. Oh, and I added Jason.

None in "real life"... Yes... Having friends on social sites similar to this don't require a face-to-face. This is no different.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
