no, hasn't changed things in the real world except how I see things.

nope, I talk about you guys too much now

not really...

What real world?

for me It has made me grow more as a person, its like writing. The more you do iyt the better you get. I find the mroe I talk with you guys

REAL WORLD? what's that?

The better I am in social situations *out there*

can't read anything longer than 140 characters anymore

or without emoticons

if talking to others in real life in third person counts, then yes

great Thoughtwrong! Maybe you just feel more confident because of the *type* of interaction you've found here!

andex and Baja!

no, if anything, they stifled them further.

true cassaundra, it has kept me out of the RW more.

I don't see it as having an impact on my real life, other than the fact that I want to meet Plurkers IRL now.

JaneChin! I'm with you!

where?

social skills in the real world?

miketempleton OMG out of the woodwork and all...where have you been ?

agrees about wanting to meet plurkers miketempleton!

planetKnit: antisocial world

uhm.. not really.

not really, since I started to refer to myself in the third person.

Yes. And I'm suddenly mini-famous in my networking circles for being a go-to person for social media, which is pretty cool.
