Meet the digital neighbors
There are many neighbors online, be it in virtual worlds like Second Life, social web sites like MySpace, shared interests in user groups or bookmark entries. These places offer great opportunities to get in touch and learn more about others and all is just a click away. Instead of the usual friend lists and random suggestions, why not click the strangers immediately around you?
Say you publish something in a service like Twitter, then go to the page listing all recent posts and follow up on the people immediately behind and ahead of your own post. You never know what and who you could find this way; a surprise at every click.
