Dinner Conversations

December 29, 2009 in Me with View Comments

I had dinner last night with DJ Chuang and Andrew Kim. It was awesome. I had never met the two of them before in person but we had conversed over the web through twitter and the blog world. As we sat in the Old Spaghetti Factory and discussed a variety of topics I continued to wonder one thing…am I a good dinner conversation? What do the other people think of me?

I have had the chance of meeting up with a couple of people who had first met me on twitter or my blog and then we had the chance to meet in person. Usually they tell me two things, you are much better looking in person and you are not what I thought you would be like (well at least they say the last part, I pretend like they say the first part). I always find that weird, but then I realize that this is understandable. As I sat there and ate dinner I wondered if Andrew and DJ were thinking the same thing?

Have you ever met someone who was not what you expected?

  • You are great dinner conversation, dude. I really thought it was a trip that after a just few tweets and comments in the blogosphere three strangers can share a meal and have a great conversation about really significant topics. I wonder what this says about social media's potential for fostering community and even mentorship?
  • It is amazing how we connected.
    What is even more amazing to me is how we had never met but had a great conversation.
    I wish we could have talked longer.
    Look forward to another chance of meeting and conversating.
