I have “met” Thomas online – he works at Omidyar and we have a lot in common in our work. We’ve spoken once on the phone because Thomas replied to a twitter that I was looking for people interested in thinking about how an non profit might use FaceBook. Through those interactions, I found out Thomas was also coming to the GK3 meetings here in Kuala Lumpur. We have been exchanging tweets since we arrived. This afternoon I saw a tweet that he was stepping out to the Central Market. I asked if I could go so we ended up going with another colleague of Thomas’. I bought sarongs and a beautiful shirt.
Crazy, that Twitter even half way around the world.
More from GK3 later. Photos here and here (the latter are from the workshop we ran this morning on graphic recording 101!)
