Disclose Your AOL Instant Messenger Screen Name On Twitter
Last night I was browsing through Twitter looking for a few more interesting people to follow on Twitter. By chance I landed on Jessica Mah. I knew a little about Jessica, mostly that she was another young entrepreneur, and figured she would be interesting to follow.
Within a few minutes I received an instant message from someone who wasn’t on my buddy list. Obviously enough it was Jessica, her opening message went a little like this,
“Hey its Jessica Mah, I found your IM on twitter!”
From there me and Jessica went on to have a lengthy conversation about anything and everything. Rather than simply relying on Twitter to “meet” people, AOL instant messenger gave me the opportunity to truly “get to know” someone. From here I expect me and Jessica to chat a few more times and ultimately hang out this summer in San Francisco while we both try out some internships ( I will be at Revision3, Jessica will choose her next home within the next few weeks ).
So what are you waiting for? If you aren’t super private or shy, I highly recommend that you throw up some more contact info on Twitter. You never know when you will stumble upon some interesting conversation!
side note: Obviously AOL instant messenger isn’t the only program that allows you to chat with new found friends. Using any instant messenger service works in this situation, I just prefer AOL instant messenger.
