Transporting relationships from the web to the real world

The power of social media to transport relationships from the web to the real world is undeniable. Ask

  • who just concluded an enviable seven-country blogging tour. Paull has transformed his online friendships to true human interaction, having visited 51 bloggers from countries such as America, England, Canada and Italy.

    What strikes me about all of this is the warmth with which Paull has been greeted. See people, humanity is very much alive. Bloggers seem to be a friendly tribe. At least most of them.

    Paull has seriously stepped up the ante in networking through blogging, and has taken us all along for the journey, having posted updates throughout the entire trip. To read more of his story, check out

    Hi Karel,

    Great post! I’m happy to see I’ve inspired you to write something.

    I’ve turned myself into a personal case study over the past few months (and countless kilometres). I was already a true believer in the power of social media, but this trip had the potential to break my faith if it didn’t work.

    Instead, I’m even more confident that social media will revolutionize the way we communicate. It has changed my life.
