Had the pleasure of grabbing dinner with my good friend Jessica Mah. What did we eat? Korean BBQ. Was quite the experience. We ordered the “for 2,” which gave us raw chicken and beef. It was up to us (read: Jessica) to cook the food on the mini charcoal grill provided to us. It was definitely an experience! Me and Jessica discussed all sorts of things including the obvious topics such as business and social media.
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.
