It's interesting that you bring up the mix of "communication" across multiple platforms -- I've recently been experimenting with that concept in terms of daily communication. It comes easily and without thought -- I get a DM on Twitter, respond via email on Facebook, etc, etc.
Knowing a lot of different people on multiple platforms makes this feasible in a way, since many of them are on the same networks I am, and others are exclusively on one or the other (my communication reaches everyone, no matter their scenario). Those who span multiple platforms can experience the outreach in many ways.
It's always good to run into at these events, bruh. I'm glad we were able to socialize after the event as well (that makes being in the mix at any event worthwhile usually -- the afterparty.)
