Meatspace Bias
There are 39 entries in my friends list thingy.
After eliminating communities (8), a user used for comic relief
by someone (![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
timecube), and myself, I'm left with 29
people on the list.
Of that 29, I have met 25 in person. So there are only 4 people
on the list that I haven’t met: ben,
joelgrus,
onesoul, and
pjammer.
Update: As of 2006, I’ve met
joelgrus,
and
pjammer,
thus increasing my meatspace bias. Of course, I’ve added
bunches of people to my friends list since this entry was
written, many of whom I haven’t met.
Now granted, the 25 run the gamut from people I’ve met on
exactly one occasion (kari, kenshi, and
kiad) to those that I've known since "the days of
pre-Reason" (nanowyatt, rafuzo,
hawver, and hjcanning), but it strikes
me as somewhat odd that my friends list is so skewed toward
people that I’ve actually met in meatspace.
Am I unusual in this regard? How does your friends list compare?
