You do realize by 'gay' I mean a man who has sex with other men?
How Often Do You Speak To Other Webmasters That..
You are friendly with on more than a work basis?
I just realized that for a while the only time i spoke to someone on AIM / ICQ / Phone was when they needed help or i needed help with work related stuff.
Now it seems i spend more time chatting with 'industry friends' about stuff that doesnt relate to work :thumbsup:
Just wanted t find out ifyou have any webmasters in the industry that you classify as friends who you speak to constantly other than just work colleagues?
Regards,
Lee

Yeah for sure! I think out of business relationships you form friendships along the way so like any friend you kinda keep in contact and chat about non-business things as well. ICQ and AIM does make it a lot easier BTW...:howl:

i try to, but im always afraid im bugging someone if i try & chat about anything other than business.

Oh I absolutely have made some very good friends here that I chat with about a lot of stuff besides business. Business weaves in and out of the discussions of course, but so does a lot of other more personal type chatting.

I've made some great friends here on the board. I've been known to just shoot the shit with a lot of people I've met here. I often talk about business, but we usually just gab about nothing, and I'm hoping to visit LA in the fall so Don and I (and whomever else wants to come along) can terrorize the city, and I can show you what "fast" REALLY means.

You know, I'm thinking of the GWW moderator's dinner in Vegas earlier this year and the GWW coctail party in Cybernet and I think we're a lot more than business associates, we're friends. That means a lot. I know when I go to an industry gathering that I have a bunch of people that I can hang with and joke around with and talk more than just business with. I really apprecaite that and feel very fortunate that I can consider you my friends.
And Jasun, LA won't know what hit it!!! LOL!

I certainly do. One person who I've known from porn for about 6 years we even go on holiday skiing with (have done for the last 2 years and doing so next year too). There's good people in the world but not if you believe what everyone says over at GFY

I have to say that to begin with I was very much just in it to talk business but over the past six months I kind of let that slip and now chat quite frequently with other people in the industry about just stuff in general - as Bec said the work stuff drifts in and out but it's not generally all we talk about.

Some of our best friends we have made through this industry and see and speak to them regularly in social situations!
... and I love a chat... so that is daily!

i've made a lot of friends in the industry. most of the time, we end up doing some sort of business together as well. networking is such a huge part of this business, that you're bound to make real connections with a few people along the way.

Yeah, this is growing all of the time for me, too. But like Dawgy, I'm always worried I'm butting into someone's day. But I expect if I am, they will tell me, and I wouldn't be offended.

I must admit I'm always open for a chat (almost always...) and as DZiner says...if not - it's easy to go invisible or just let people know. It's good to get away from the biz for a while and just chew the fat

I rarely talk to other webmasters about non biz issues. I always feel like I'm bugging them or there are those that just won't go away after you say hello to them. I have always tried to keep my work from my personal life and vice versa, only leads to trouble.
