Case in point. I twittered about my dinner at Morton’s last week. It was amazing, and I’m putting a review up shortly. But, I’d tweeted that I offered to marry the general manager, Josh. His wife, (ooops) tweeted back that all I had to do is flirt with him. (so I did :D)

She and I have since discovered a ridiculous amount of commonalities. So many so that we’re planning to meet for a drink over the weekend.

What hit me most about this entire situation, is that I feel like I’ve known her for ages. In reality, it’s been about…. oh, a week. Maybe two. ish.

Things that happen six months ago, which in real life, seem like some time has passed, in the social media world, a few months is a lifetime.

Think about it. We’re not talking about, or being, Rick Rolled anymore. We’re not talking about stuff that happened a month ago. Or even 2 weeks ago.

The social media time line is short. Turnover is rapid. A few days can equal a few months in the social media world.
