Social Media Connections

Again, for one who is ignorant about the byways and highways of social media, I think it’s interesting how people can use it to connet. It was so flattering that one of my Facebook friends made friends with someone else who is on my list and, because of this connection, will now be working together. It makes the world even smaller, doesn’t it?

Here’s the note I received from my Facebook friend, outlining the situation (I have changed names and other facts to keep it anonymous):

Hi Vicente!

I will make this short… You have opened the door to my life long dream of being in Interior Design…. Recently you have become virtual friends with “Jane Doe”. Something compelled me to click on her picture when I saw it on the minifeed. It turns out she is a known interior designer near the city where I live. So we met up for coffee this morning in town and she had a look at my portfolio and guess what??!!!!…we are going to be working together this Fall! Dreams come true as we also really clicked.

But YOU have made the magic happen!

So THANK YOU for being my friend… (No, i’m not listening to Lionel Ritchie as I’m typing this… lol)

ps: I love reading your blog and of course everything you do!

Cheers,

“Joanne”

I’m so happy I could help you meet a like-minded soul. Best wishes to the both of you.

What an awesome note! I got an email the other day from someone who said they just read 2 1/2 years of my entries recently. These little things makes you glad you put the effort into the blog doesn’t it?

Facebook and blogs are great social services. I’ve contacted and been contacted on Facebook by numerous old friends who I haven’t heard from in decades and we’ve re-established friendships. Equally exciting are the new contacts and relationships. I really enjoy the folks who discuss and debate issues you’ve posted, and those who offer and accept words of encouragement from me and other bloggers. I’ve had e-mails, phone calls and Facebook contact with a couple of your bloggers. An architect that I met on the Modern Atlanta tour and I are now friends on Facebook and I’m going to see his photography show next week. It is amazing to have such tools of connectivity. I hope you have beautiful weekend weather in Montauk. – Gary
