In the flesh
My online life started about 18 years ago with the BBSs, Fidonet, Relaynet, etc. In 1994 I got my first “true” connection to the Internet. Contrary to non-geek belief, this “staring at the monitor for hours on end” has not alienated me from the world, quite the opposite. I’ve met a whole lot of interesting people, some of which have become my friends, some even In Real Life. People I wouldn’t have met if it wasn’t for the Internet and all the interesting services that run over it, like Twitter for instance. I’ve written about Twitter before, and now I’m organizing a monthly Twitter meeting in Lisbon, so you can meet your fellow Twitterers in the so called Big R!!
