Tuesday Thingers


Today's question: LT and RL (real life)- do you have friends in real life that you met through LibraryThing? Have you attended any LT meet-ups in your area? Would you be open to attending meet-ups or is LT strictly an online thing for you?

My answer: I don't have any friends that I met through LT but I have a few real-world friends who are also LT friends. I haven't attended a meet up but I'm open to it. There was a get-together in Cambridge a few months ago but I was busy or something and didn't get to go. I would make more of an effort next time though since I'd be interested to meet some folks on LT and many of them are local. I'm always a little nervous meeting people from online but I'd give it a try.

What a great question, BB! You always think of good ones. I missed answering last week because I wanted to go take a picture of an old bookstore - work and the Olympics took up too much of my time.

I think I'd be nervous meeting online people too- but it helps that I know we're all a little (or a lot) book crazy.

I'm still up too!

Very cool question, that I am sure we have all thought about at one time or another since being introduced to the internet.
Here is my answer!

I've yet to meet anyone that I've connected with on LT ... I'm a bit uncomfortable with it, too (is it my age?!?) ... I feel like I'd be doing everything I tell my kids *not* to do.

I'm up!

The internet is a great way to meet people (we are obviously not all axe murderers!), so I think this is a great question.

Good question. Hadn't thought about it. Didn't even know there might be such a thing as LT meet-ups. Here's my answer.

I hope no one minds, but I took this one a little tongue in cheek. If you do, then I wouldn't read here.

I was at that meet up...and next time you really need to come. It was a lot of fun to be able to put faces to names that you run across on LT. We promise not to bite...

much. ;-)

Tuesday Thingers on Friday - my answer's up.

The online/RL intersection was kind of a theme on my blog this week, so this question fit in very well.
