Great story Matt! I love the metaphor and wish we could all get together for similar companionship more often. Thanks for the refresher!

A sense of belonging is what we all try for with our social media efforts, hard to achieve but worth the effort. great post Matt.

I wish I could Sphinn this article 1,000 times :) I wanted to post the comment I left on Matt's site here as well:

I will begin with a "cheers to that!" I was in Ireland a year ago speaking with a fellow at a pub. He called it his "local." This conversation reminded me of your point #3. Community, sense of ownership and belonging is so important because when you build real relationships you build loyalty. The most "popular" people I know are genuine and the most successful social media is too.

As I commented on the post - Great post, Matt. As another Northeasterner (ex Hartlepool) I could not fail to add my complete support for your thesis. It's exactly the same sense of belonging. At my own on-site 'Local', Cre8asite Forums, I've often expressed exactly the same sentiments.
