So, I’ve been a bit of a social butterfly in the last ten years, gaining lists of friends from all walks of life that just love to chat. I love the community and the socialness of it all. When there’s something to converse about.
And you’ve all had this conversation…
Them: Hey man
Me: Sup
Them: Not much
And that’s it.
I mean, I think I know what’s happening here. This is someone’s attempt to reach out. But lets put this in a group setting.
Fellow walks up to me at, say, the Podcamp Pittsburgh meet n greet as I’m obviously engaged in gathering some delicious free snacks.
Them: Hey man
Me: Sup
Them: Not much
Awkward moment. I go back to my snacks.
So this is a PSA to all of you Facebook and IM chatters out there. Don’t be a Hey Man. Have a followup. Have a reason for being (online). Give me a reason to put the free snacks down…
