John,

I mean to comment on this earlier.

I just wanted to say thanks man. I have really enjoyed our friendship over this last year, and that was a great day when you, John and I were able to hang out. A lot of friendships that started as acquaintances online for me have really developed into some great stuff. Besides you and Scott McClellan, the other person who I met online who I have been able to hang out with regularly is Aaron Alexander.

I love this stuff.

Rhett

Though not the same as meeting someone you've corresponded w/ directly, this is what happened the last time that I introduced myself to someone I only knew of from online.

Thanks for the mention John. The feeling is mutual, and I’d even pay for the meal. Let me know when you’re up my way next time.

Oh Larsy,
You didn’t make the list because I met you in person before I ever really interacted with you online!

I wouldn’t call 32 blogs “not branching out” – that’s quite a few people to know really well. And I concur – it would be fun to meet Mr. Rose.

Pretty disappointed I didn’t’ make the list. :) I agree with all you’ve said about Rhett. Off the top of my head I’d probably say that I probably come at this from the other angle. I just checked my blogliines account and of the 32 blogs I regularly follow I realized that I know all of them really well. I guess that means I don’t branch out very much to people I don’t know but that’s probably my personality showing.

I’ll throw out one name though of someone who I feel like I’ve watched for quite a few years and met once or twice but never had a conversation with and that’s Kevin Rose from Diggnation or more old school from The Screensavers. I’ve been watching his podcast since the beginning and that brings a weird “i know you but I don’t feeling”.
