Meeting Strangers

One of my biggest goals is to get coffee with as many people as possible. Most of them are from the Twitter world but others e-mailed me, met me in person, etc. If they drop by my area or live there, I offer chatting with them over coffee, even if we’ll only meet up one time.

I’ll only count people I met through cold approach online or offline that gave me their e-mail or phone number to meet up at a later date.

I met everyone in San Francisco unless stated otherwise. If there is no link, I haven’t written about it yet (and may or may not in the future).

Everyone I’ve ever met online before formally wanting to do this:

1-3 People through forums from 2007-2009.

5. Day 10 of Rejection Therapy (see Rejections tab)
6. Day 28 of Rejection Therapy (see Rejections tab)
7. Day 29 of Rejection Therapy
8. Day 39 of Rejection Therapy

I decided to begin this mid-2011 after Rejection Therapy
