The guys at LifeHacker just put up a post about starting conversations with strangers. Now, I’m a pretty introverted guy – which actually helps me as a programmer look inside to find solutions to problems. But recently since I started consulting again I’ve had to find my extroverted side and start up those difficult conversations. I’ve found things like JellyBCS (Facebook, Twitter, and old fashion web) and user groups (.NET, PHP, and AgileBCS) have helped with this.
My challenge for you is to start up conversations with at least 3 random people a week!
