We venture out into the world of blogging and find ActiveRain, the Real Estate Network. We may get involved with the excitement of meeting new members but are mindful that the ActiveRain network is a place to connect with our peers as well. We blog about our business and expertise and then try out writing about our local areas and businesses.
Because after all we are the ‘Area Experts' right?
Along the way we find out that Twitter and Facebook are great places to catch up with friends and family and connect on a short term basis during the day . We socialize and get to ‘know' people and think that ‘maybe' ...just maybe I may want them to be my ‘friend'? But, I remember them from other social sites and how they were drama mamas.
Then again, I didn't know them personally either did I?
I will be the first to attest that I have judge people by their ‘internet cover' or their disguise if you will. I will also be the first to attest that I have been guilty of assuming (and we know what assume means) that people were as real as their boisterous and sarcastic words. The truth of the matter is that their ‘cover' can only go as far as their sincerity with words.
Maybe those words behind the people can translate into a meaningful connection?
Funny, I was talking about this to a friend the other day and realized that no matter what...I don't get into drama in real life, so why would I online? And so the reason to take many steps back a while back and not get involved online with squabbles and such.
If it's one thing I do know...I've learned many lessons and made many friends along the way ...even after the hereafter. The ones who've remained through thick and think are surely the friends I will carry through life.
So until I get to REALLY know you,
I'm not your friend .....or foe....
But I am an online peer....
Until we get to know each other better :)
