I can't even count the number of times someone has discussed something in Second Life that was disruptive and they always concluded with, "yeah, just like in real life." It's easy for us to be blinded or at least very distracted by the filters. Yes, there is a real person on the other end of the Net connection. I think this whole area of Netiquette 2.0 or behaving responsibly in a virtual space have worlds to grow. IIt'll be interesting seeing them built and helping to build tehm. Good piece.

Just because you aren't my next door neighbor doesn't mean that I can't form a close connection and relationship with you. It's been interesting this week for me to actually meet a few online/Twitter friends face-to-face. Both people were exactly the same face-to-face as my perception about them from online communications. It was easy to slip into a conversation with someone you've been reading about for the past several months. You know what has been going on in their lives in 140 characters or less. It's amazing me all the Tweet Ups that are happening that are pulling the community even closer together. Unless one is in the middle of this virtual connection it's hard to really "get it". People look at me like I have two heads when I try to explain things like Twitter and blogs. Don't understand? I really don't care, it works for me and that's what matters most. How could I possibly ignore you? :o)
