A colleague of ours Jon Husband has been on the road for the past several weeks and had this to say about his travels and blogging.

 

"A bit more on "social networking" ....  as I have travelled through several western european cities, I have found that my involvement in blogging to be an incredibly useful means of connecting with people. 

Indeed, probably the most useful aspect of blogging is that I know enough about other people prior to meeting them that I am able to ask good questions and listen more effectively than I might otherwise."
