Sometimes I'm truly amazed at the power of social media. I was thinking the other day about twitter. Somehow, signing up to "see what it was all about", turned into tweets with 140 characters, which turned into tweeting with other people in Columbus. Then those exchanges turned into meeting at professional events and instant ice breakers. Those meetings turned into Facebook & Foursquare friendships and exchanging cell phone numbers, which turned into text messages, which turned into happy hours, which turned into nights out. Somehow all of that turned into the realization that we have so much in common, which turned into meet-ups and gab sessions over coffee instead of beer.
Somehow, 140 characters turned into friendships, stories and inside jokes. It turned into a group of friends that I can't believe that I made and that I can't remember being without.
