A long time ago, I used the Internet as a dating service. Big deal, right? Well, remember – a long time ago, we didn't have the Web (and we certainly didn't have IRC). I relied on BBSes like ISCA and classic Usenet via 'tin' on the command line of my University shell account. Meeting girls through my favorite forums was fun. A decade later, if you don't have an IM account of some sort, you're not really counted as being online. I'm happily married now (and I should probably note that Gretchen and I met each other in real life before we ever communicated via the Internet). Where am I going with this? Well, you've heard of the stories where boy meets girl (or boy meets boy or girl meets girl) and they live happily ever after? Check it out… GeekGrrl met Milbertus in the Lockergnome chat room. Now they're engaged to be married. I can't tell you how happy this makes me; I don't know either of them very well, but I'm thrilled to have created an online resource where their friendship could blossom. Too cool. Too freakin' cool.
