I got a couple of job offers from people who knew me through my online activities.
My online interaction with the Singularity Institute led to my collaboration with them.
I was introduced to a potential customer by someone I contacted, whom I knew only through their online presence.
For Singularity Summit 2012, I got some generous couchsurfing offers and ended up staying at Vassar's place.
(There was some minimum F2F time for some of the above, but everything got started online, and the great majority of interaction was not F2F.)
I'd like to ask everyone: Have LessWrong.com and related online rationalist/transhumanist/Singularitarian communities connected you to people for purposes beyond discussion?
Bonus points if an online contact led to an important connection. We already know that face-to-face meetups are a great way to meet people, so I'm curious about connections triggered by online interaction.
I have seen scattered mentions that each of the above has happened, but not enough to get a strong impression of what's going on.
Please answer in comments below. By doing so, you'll be providing social proof that LW and the like can accomplish these things, and so encourage more to happen, increasing happiness in the world.
I added one myself to start.
