Online personas

One thing I am so curious about is to meet people after I have read some of their blog postings. Usually they are different than I imagine them. For example, recently I met someone whose blog I had followed. Online he seemed like a gregarious and caring person. But live and in person he seemed more standoffish and less friendly. Maybe his gruff exterior hides a soft interior landscape, but you would probably never know this unless you knew him well.

You would think it would be the other way around, and that their blog would be less revealing than meeting them in person. Guess that's the crazy world of the internet and why people like to meet authors, to compare their idea of the person to the actual person.
