Being new in town can be tough, and going to an event on your own is intimidating. Tougher still, for many, is following up with people you’ve just met to build the foundation for a friendship. At The Tribe, we’ve observed first-hand the awesome phenomenon of newcomers becoming facebook “friends” immediately after events. Nothing brings us more joy! We attempt to encourage this through taking a lot of photos at events, and tagging as many people as we can, so that attendees can find each other online. A visiting Rabbi from the foundation that funds us even remarked that facebook appears to be more prevalent in Miami than in other cities, where Twitter has more prominence.
What do you think? Does facebook do the job to break the ice? Are there other ways to connect people to each other at our events? Do people use twitter to connect? Let us know your thoughts at info@thetribemb.org….
Until next time,
The Tribe!
