#50 Friends I Can’t Wait to Meet
After bumping into Guy Kawasaki’s use of #80 How Twitter Improved My Blog, this might be one of those things gifts that just keep giving in this whole crazy social media world. So I will now steal what I think is my household’s 3 use of a topic, but one that I think will be fun. To that end, I embark on friends I can’t wait to meet!
I’ve taken this multiple ways - people I know and yet I haven’t met and people I don’t know whom I would like to meet. I’m also adding people who I would like see again soon/don’t see enough of…
Chris Brogan - This guy is someone I haven’t met, but he just he just get me to use that twitter thing. I may randomly call at some point, but I doubt I will every put my cell number on the public web. So this is in the haven’t met and don’t know bucket. I also have another 97 things to blog on because of him.
Chris Lyman - I’ve emailed on and off with this guy for almost 10 years, he sits in my address book, just waiting for the next reasonably interesting mass address book note I have. His open letter was fun to watch as well. I just don’t make it to culver city-ish that much and when I get in the region its normally San Diego basically and I don’t have like 6 extra hours.
Michael Wilson - I’ve been chatting and emailing with this guy for nearly 3 months, good news is I hope/look to meet him soon in person. Plus Small World Labs is good stuff. I should have gone to ACL, but too close to the due date and not worth the risk.
Ross Mayfield - I’ve only chatted with this guy a couple of times, but one of the biggest brains I’ve ever interacted with and passionate! The guy is just crazy quick on the uptake, I will ping him the next time I’m in the bay.
Allison - So I have this random phone number in my phone that for the life of me I can’t remember who it is. I accidentally dialed it like a month ago, she called back and left a really lengthy vm - even knew both my wife and my name. I have to think we met last new years, but just weird that she left a voicemail like we went WAY back. Just to give credit, I got the New years context from her vm. I guess i’ll see in 90 days at panic.
The people I don’t see enough of…
The Atlanta Crew - This is the whole group of folks, who while I live within 18 miles of all of them, I still don’t see them enough. (Jay, Karin, Warshaw, Scott, Alicia, Jake, Ingrid, Gianna, Jason, Doug, Katie, Naylor, David, Claire, Chicken, Stacy and Jason, et. al). I guess the “baby shower” is the next opportunity for this.
Dan, Della and David - I’ll see y’all at new years.

I thought I’d stop by and say hello. This came up on my Google Alert for “Small World Labs”. I looked for a name attached to this blog but couldn’t find one. Thanks for the “top people” pick. I’m flattered but sure you’ll only be disappointed

I’ll zip you an email Michael, I’m not sure I’m in for the loss of anonymity - yet. I clearly may be disappointed. But your spam based email is a good idea, no need to clutter the small world labs inbox, cheers!
