I've really been feeling this idea since joining Twitter just a little over a month ago. Having had the time since the holidays to explore it further, I was amazed to find just how great of a tool it is to build relationships and contacts. Through Twitter I came into contact with Yam, and although I've yet to meet him in person, simply by following him was I able to see just how big the Vancouver community is, and just how many opportunities there are to meet up with various people. Twitter really makes engaging new people that much easier, and I think is going to make a big difference in the way the internet evolves over the coming years. Great post Raul.

I'm following lot's of people like yourself on twitter to try and get an impression of the 'vibe' around Vancouver right now, before I move there from the UK in a few months time. I'll be sure to grab you a coffee once I'm there and I'll introduce you to my OH too ( @Bampi )! Interesting post and glad to read you have already done what I believe (and hope) is possible!

I have met so many people online since I joined up on twitter and started joining conversations. I sometimes wish that I could participate more and comment more, but I still have a 9-5 job that makes demands on my time. I'll often be watching the twitter action and thinking how cool it is to be making so many new and fabulous connections that never would have been open to me before.
