This is wonderful Heather! thanks for putting pen to paper… er… fingertips to keyboard. lol… I noticed at FreeStateSocial today that people seemed very engaged with eachother. Lots of handshakes and gentle hugs. I found a great little social media support system at The Social Media Club of Kansas City. Some of those folks I met at the first tweetup one year ago, are those I bank on at these events on and off “the field”. My circle will never close due to too many… so I can't wait to meet you f2f… and anyone else who wants to connect and talk nerdy social media. or anything else. LOL!

This is such a wonderful idea, Heather! But I have no clue how to Skype.

[...] Meet them Face-to-Face: Even though technology enables us amazing social opportunities, there is still something lost between the lines of text on the screen. In order to get a real feel for someone as a person, you have to meet face-to-face. I’ve traveled to Chicago, New York and New Jersey to meet my SM-friends in-real-life. I’m working on finding a way to get myself down to Atlanta, GA. Allan Schoenberg, Director of Communication for CME Group (with whom I’ve met in-real-life several times), also understands the importance of turning connections made through social media into face-to-face friends. However, if you can’t afford the cost or time to travel the nation, find other ways. I like to use Skype’s video chat to “meet” people for the first time. With the same sentiment, Heather Whaling (@prtini) wrote a post on her blog, asking her SM-friends to bridge the gap and schedule a Skype session with her. [...]

Great post Heather! Just like you, I'm always looking to connect with pretty much anyone. I'm going to have to take you up on your offer and schedule a time to say hello. The same goes for me. I'd love to hear from everyone, so if you check out my blog (www.jeff-peters.com) and twitter stream (@jpeters1221) and what I have to say is interesting to you, feel free to say hello.

Bud I do have to ask...just what exactly is Yearbook camp?!

Great idea, Heather! Went to a #pieup last Sunday on pi day (3.14) and only one other person showed up, @admore. I've know Dave for quite a some time now. We travel in the same social media circles, connect online, see each other at SM events and have chit chatted over the last year or two. But, I'd never really sat down and had a real conversation with him until that day. We talked for nearly 2 hours, had a great time and really connected on a deeper level.

And that's exactly what you're talking about doing here. Spending some quality one-on-one time with those you are connected to in one community or another, but don't “really” know. I like it. May have to institute something like that myself.
