I met a ton of people that I had only known via Twitter and the internet at large during Story Conference 2010.
It was awesome and I really loved putting faces to digital avatars and it reminded me how valuable physical conferences can be. I know that a number of people are moving toward only-online but I think they are missing an important part of networking.
In any case, here are a few shots I was able to capture. Thanks all for making the weekend memorable and very enjoyable!
A boat-load of fun!
I tried to figure out who each person was from my experiences in talking with them online and following them on twitter. I knew a majority of them, but who is this guy? http://cdn.human3rror.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/story10-24-520×696.jpg

I’ve met a few people IRL that I first met online… in fact, a couple I’ve become really good friends with. It’s a different dynamic, but it gives online communication extra meaning after you’ve met
