The Whatever Girls & Social Networking

October 29, 2009 · 5 comments

The What­ever Girls are hilar­i­ous to watch. Kar­rie (aka @Knitpurlgurl) turned me onto the What­ever Girls. Both Alexis & Jen­nifer were on the Today show today and dis­cussed social net­work­ing. Watch this clip and let me know what you think…

How do you feel about the online social net­work­ing world? Are you addicted? I have met a lot of really great and really close friends online. It has been my life­line since my old­est was born 13 years ago. I also have offline friends, but my online friends are just as impor­tant to me. I have met many of them in real life and it’s like we were friends for years. No strange awk­ward moments. We jump right in as if we were chat­ting online.

Being online has opened up my world. I have met women that I have a lot in com­mon with that I never would have met before. I want to know about your online vs offline friend­ships.
