Blurring the gap

3Hillary10th Jan 2010Social Media,

While wiling away the hours on Twitter (reminds me of hanging out in IRC chat rooms. I think I still have mIRC on my computer somewhere…) @ArtofthFirebird posted a link to an interesting article. On the blog Sweet Tea & Straight Talk, the writer talks about how the lines of social media and real life interaction have blurred. You can read it here – Offline. Online. Where Do the Lines Blur?

What do you think? Are you finding your real life communications have moved more online? Are you on Facebook, MySpace, Beebo, LiveJournal? Do you Tweet with people you know in real life? Do you write letters and post them (snail mail) anymore or just e-mails to friends and relatives? Are you getting less cards in the mail and more virtually? Is this a good thing?
