In The News

Online and Offline Community

December 20, 2007

Okay, so it isn't in the news yet, but it will be! After I write the article, my editors approved it and the next issue of PresenTense hits the press.

I've been exploring how online and offline interactions effect community and thought I'd ask you the same questions I asked for the article. Who knows, maybe there'll be a follow-up.

1. What was your first online community? What did it do for you? What was it like?

2. What online community to you identify most with? What's it like? What do you get out of it?

3. Have you ever met your online friends in the real world? What was that like?

4. How does your online life compliment or complicate your offline life?

My first online community was for a personal hobby of mine. Animation and fiction put together. It was a wonderful experience for me because it was there that I managed to hone my writing skills and meet a lot of friends as well. Although most of them remained as online friends, I did manage to be offline friends with a couple of them. It's amazing what a shared passion can do for you.
