Hey Dale. Nice to meet you at Podcamp, then visit more at the Tweetup and good to stay in touch via Twitter. And now here you are on my blog. Perfect example of what I'm talking about! Thanks.

Good one from Tip O'Neil!

Yes, introverts are often good at listening and asking meaningful questions so maybe that's part of what made Johnny Carson a good interviewer. I heard he was an introvert. Listening and asking meaningful questions are exactly what introverts (and everyone) should mobilize when networking.

Hi Val,

When I went to my first blogging conference back in 2005 –yeah, I know I sound like an old fogey –I noticed this right away. People were talking about reading one another's blogs, but they were also talking about getting together for dinner, etc. It was not just the online connection but the offline as well. So, whenever possible, one should try to make that bridge between the online and offline worlds. As you noticed, good things happen

Exactly — nicely said! That's why the Western Mass Podcamp — and the Tweetups — are so great. To paraphrase Tip O'Neil, all politics is local, and all social is personal.

Really enjoyed the opportunity to meet you at the last TweetUp. Great question right off the bat…I suspect introverts are really good at interviewing people (like Johnny Carson was)?
