I was able to catch up virtually with an old friend from high school who now has a beautiful family and a fascinating career, a dear friend I met while traveling in Europe some 30 years ago (and whom I may have tried to encourage to break a few rules while in East Berlin) who is now doing great things working for the U.S.

This will often begin a conversation. People ask for travel recommendations, advice how to fix a problem with their blog and everything in-between. This gets the conversation started without having to worry about coming up with something fabulous right off the bat. Watch their tweets to get an idea of their style and content.

While I might be welcome to join in a conversation about the impact (or lack thereof) of MTV’s TRL going off the air or the latest iPhone app, I might not be the first person you’d think to approach, and this is perfectly alright. Maybe that ultimately leads to more engaged conversations. Now, back to the grind.
