Spontaneous Face to Face Interaction

John said Sep 10, 2007, 3:53 PM:

 

Hi everyone,

I posted a comment on the Greater Boston Zaadzsters portal last night and I wanted to share this here for everyone involved in Zaangha communities.


What does everyone think about taking action to promote spontaneous real world connections?  For example, take a moment on a Friday night to mention that you'll be at a specific park the following day… Or post a message that you're going to see a specific movie at a certain time…

It would help if we had some way of identifying each other as Zaadz members.

I was thinking that we could each get bracelts with our screen names printed on them and we could exchange these with one another.  We'll need to make sure we sent an electronic invite to each other - but we'll actually form a buddy system on this - with two people being responsible for taking this action.  We'd want the bracelets to be a consistent and recognizable color and design so we could recognize this from a distance.

After this initial exchange of braclets we'll now have braclets with our friend's name on it.  The next time we exchange bracelets we'll be directly increasing our new friend's circle.  We'll want to identify our on-line friends as 'bracelet friends'.  Maybe we can get Zaadz to come up with a way to automatically send invites out to all bracelet friends in our local Zaangha?

Please reply and help develop this thought.

John
