Online friends are in a slightly different category to offline friends, in that it is hard to see the person behind the profile. This means that it usually takes a little longer for people to really get to know each other. I have a number of bloggers that I relate to on Skype, via email and the Facebook message system, plus Stumbleupon of course! I am presently building a small cooperative of writers who are able to meet online and work together. Perhaps something like that would be a good place to start? Cheers Hi Shari,

I appreciate your comment and the link back to my post. Speaking from my own experience, some people are natural networkers online and off. Others really have to work at it. I think that's accentuated online. It's easy to "add a friend," but harder to to really become friends. Maybe we need to start some conversations about taking that next step ... something along the lines of "here's where you can reach me, and I'd really love to hear from you about ..." We try to do this on our blogs, but relationships are built behind the scenes, one-to-one. What are your thoughts on how to encourage this? Thank you, Allan.
