I've met just about everybody I linked to face-to-face (the exception is the incredible David Thayer). Your point about communicating with your peers as well as your clients is something I preach about in my other life (because as much as it wants to be, Booksquare is also not the whole center of my universe). Final question: are sloths organic or inorganic? Because it's not only my favorite vice, it's my life's goal! I agree with getting out in the real world, Andrea.

I've been doing consulting for several years, so I was used to isolation before I ever started blogging. But, as a result of my blog, I've been able to build new relationships and connect with interesting people. My blog is certainly not at the centre of my universe, but it is there on the periphery. And that's why I have now started this second blog, so that I can speak more to the people who are not prospective clients -- instead, the people who want to know more about what I do and why and how. When I started my other blog, it was so I could connect with clients. Now I see a need to communicate more honestly with other consultants! It's amazing what blogging can do for your social network. Of course, you still want to unplug and get out there and have a real life with real people, so that you don't complete the transition to inorganic item. :) I like the community aspect.
