Six degrees of separation did not take into account the intertubes

[jillithian]

So, the intertubes is a wonderous place full of win.

Recently I added a Twitter account to my online repertoire. Casually I mentioned that I had a song in my head. The next day, the band who recorded that song started "following" me on Twitter. So, I looked at their profile, saw they had an official website, visited it and realized that they were playing in my town May 10th - 12th. Not only that, but their new female lead is a St. Cloud native.

I purchased two tickets to their May 10th show. Not sure who's using the second ticket yet...

I think this is a very intertubes win. People are starting to finally get a grasp of what technology can do. Although I can't imagine I'll ever use Twitter myself, that seems like a very good use of it.

Another intertubes win:
