Social Networking At Its Best

In the last week I had traveled to NYC where I had the pleasure of attending Stephanie Agresta’s Birthday 2.0 party. Stephanie is also a social media expert and we connected online through Facebook and emails in the last year. It is always exciting for me to meet my online friends face to face for the first time. I am a big believer in extending online connections to the offline world and since I am living in Israel and many of my connections are based in the United States and Europe, connecting offline is often hard but always very fulfilling.

I came back to Israel just in time to attend Jeff Pulver’s social networking party for his Facebook friends last night. The place was packed with people from the Web 2.0 industry and gave us all a great opportunity to do some business networking in an amazing social setting. Throughout the night various people came up to me and expressed how much they enjoyed reading my blog. This was the highlight of the night for me. There is nothing more fulfilling than hearing from your readers that they enjoy your writing and learn from it. I hope I continue to interest you with my posts.

Here are some pics from last night’s event:
