Is It Weird to…

June 25, 2006

in ruminations, technology

…message someone you recognized on the street from their MySpace/ Flickr/ Friendster/ etc profile? It’s a funny little thing, this Internet, how you can be “friends” with someone online, but never meet them–and then when you DO see them in real life, it becomes totally creepy to go up to them and say, “Hey, I know you from MySpace. You requested to be my friend 2 months ago.”

Thoughts?

A funny little story: I friended someone on MySpace (which I rarely do) one time, and then two weeks later, I met her at a party I threw. Crazy!

But still weird.

Is it creepy knowing that people look and comment on your site who feel connected to you but you do not have a clue who they are ?
