And no, relationships can’t be created in front of a computer. When I’m in front of a computer, I’m interacting with a computer, not a person. Unalloyed human contact is just different.

Lou’s right, though. It’s nice that we have this tech to keep in touch — the computer interaction is better than none.

I do miss you guys.

The heart of it, actually. Tech isn't a venue for creating new relationships. Because he understands that a relationship isn't a relationship without time, shared interest, authenticity, and that's what makes him the master. You can't put quotation marks around a relationship. Many of us see technology try to substitute for time, shared interest, and authenticity, especially if we have teenagers and especially if we work with communicators who just don't get it. That word can have quotation marks around it. As a former, home-grown PR gal, I delighted in CompuServe because it removed a major hurdle to communicating with editors: intruding on deadlines. I also knew that I'd reach them, which the phone couldn't promise. Whether they liked the pitch, well, that was up to me, my skill, and our relationship. But I was young and cocky, and I overshot the hoop. I began using email to insinuate into relationships a level of personal connection that wasn't there. "Hey, whazup?" Some were ok with it because that's how they wanted to relate. And the ones who weren't, well, eventually my success in placing stories in their publications clued me in. From the nub of their careers, communicators must be mentored in the art of relationships so that their job is never about feeding facts through a keyboard. They need to identify with the search for meaning. Communicators aren't communicators because they know something their client knows. It's about knowing something that connects to a lot of things that form angles that create meaning. But even then, they are irrelevant without trust. Back to Lou's point: personal interaction. In comm school, there should be internships in it. Pick an editor and spend a semester cultivating a relationship. Get evaluated by the editor at the end. And using Second Life gets you an F.

Brian, you and I were crossing paths for years before we actually started talking to each other and learning to respect where we were each coming from. It actually all started at our first lunch at Viognier in San Mateo and it has grown steadily ever since. My relationship with every journalist has progressed with exactly the same speed as all the others, regardless of the technology.

What the tech does now is provide a new venue for nurturing relationships we already have, not a venue for creating new relationships.

Blogging, email and chat have helped me create new acquaintances but never create a relationship. That is still done face to face, and outside of fulfilling personal needs.

What I’ve learned over the past couple of years is that if I need to make a connection with a new media journalist, I’m going to have to give something valuable to them without getting anything in return…at that particular moment. The give and take occurs later. If the PR and the New Media worlds are every going to line up, someone is going to have to learn that technology will never replace personal interaction.
