It comes with no surprise to me that as of now, I seem to know more people online than in real life. At least, I am in touch with more people online than offline. So, moments like these happen regularly and confuse me.

A friend of mine (whom I know only from Yahoo Chats) wanted some help on one of his projects. I know another guy (whom I know only from WordPress IRC Chats) might be able to help him. As expected his next question was, whether this guy was trustworthy as in if he is a friend… I was confused and could only say… As good a friend as you are! I have met neither one of you but trust both of you enough to say it should work out…

If this is like this in 2004, what happens when we are in 2010?
