That was me. Back in the late 80's and early 90's, building a cutting edge design firm in the midwest was a really silly idea. I just didn't know it. Connection with folks at conferences, and then following up with conversation on news groups, compuserve and AOL made all the difference in the world. We figured out how to benefit from Silicon Valley and New York and Chicago without actually being there. These days - that's pretty much a given.
These days I live pretty far from my closest friends. But what I have gain most from these networks recently have been the reconnection with friends and former employees that I have lost track of. Not to get to heady... but that socialization through time is something I would never have anticipates.
