Linking context part II

What happens if you build around you an interesting platform where individual artists can subscribe?

The answer on that one you can find on www.artichoc.be. After one year the thing didn't became the biggest succes ever, but it reached something.

For me I met some fantastic artists, some of them I never saw, others I went to meet afterwards.
This interaction is great, because you meet people with the same interests (and sometimes not) but the surprise is great.
Also the fact that it is easier to get in touch with someone.
Lomohomes is a bigger internet-community but has the same effects. You mail, you get an answer and if interested you can continue mailing and even eventually meet.

Everybody knows the amazing stories of people that met through the web and started a love affair. They seem strange.

And yet, I know some of these people, and they don't seem strange to me.
Not at all.

I guess in this new society we discover new ways to find people that have the same interests.
Maybe it is even not so bad. Having to hang around in cafes and pubs, in clubs or other places isn't the most interesting place after all...
