I also met my Wife on IRC, ~20 years ago (after chatting for 2 years). Explaining then to people how we met was difficult, so we ended up just saying through a mutual friend - which was also true. I strongly doubt it we would have met, in this day and age. The mainstream online socialising of today is superficial and desperate. Today, a remote worker, I communicate with my colleagues over IRC. It's rare that I'd speak to a stranger on it. |

You say that but it's a sweeping generalization; a filtering down to more close-knit and direct interaction still happens all over the place. You're just not 'in' that kinda thing at the moment.
