The Online Equivalent Of "Accidentally" Knocking Someone Over On A Skating Rink
Makiko Itoh: “I do firmly believe in the validity of online communication as a means to meeting "the" person. Maybe it's not a formal dating service - maybe you have to look for the online equivalent of accidentally (or not) knocking someone over on a skating rink to strike up an acquaintance. Maybe you meet that someone in a chat room dedicated to gentoo, or during an eBay transaction, or because you leave feedback on their blog.” In other words, just like in real life, It'll Just Happen.
