Full Circle Associates

I went to my first blogger meetup here in Seattle last night and got to meet a couple of folks I have known online, and meet many others who are brand new to me.

The Seattle Blogger Meetup is a very informal thing. There were maybe 20 of us, just mingling and moving around talking to each other. Since it was my first time, I was a bit hesitant and talked to the known, but I resolved to move around and talk to at least three new people. I was very glad I did. I'll blog about one of them in a subsequent post.

My very predictable opening line was to ask the other person's name and about their blog. It was interesting to hear how many of the people I talked to had generalist blogs. They blogged because it gave them voice. I realized I have mostly been operating in the corner of the blogosphere where people have fairly defined blog topics so this was a great peek into another area.

And, typically of anything that has to do with the kismet of connections, I met someone who knows a good friend of mine. It always amazes me how we can find connections everywhere. I like that.
