Online and Social

The connection between online and social is difficult to figure out. We are clearly familiar with the value of face to face. Many of us just spent a substantial amount of money to meet with like-minded ISTE folks in Denver. There are unique opportunities in face to face encounters – more cues, greater efficiency. I can also understand the opportunities in online connections. Sometimes face to face is not practical and sometimes online offers a more controlled setting that encourages the shy to speak.

Then there are some strange combinations I really can’t figure out. The image below offers a perspective on Second Lifers. They appear to find some unique value in gathering together to watch each other in Second Life.
