Missed Connections (I Saw You). I saw you ...
in meters, in the office, in the palace, in the cafe in the store.
We exchanged a look, a joke, a shove.
Eri blonde, tattooed, Korean, dressed in black.
read the paper, was in a hurry, you wrote on your blackberry, speaking English.
Craigslist, probably the most popular site in New York, not only helps you find a home, or find
Americans interested in a few hours of conversation a week to exchange English - Italian,
or buy / sell some object.
Craigslist helps you find the subject of your appeal that you lost in the crowd ... or at least tries!
Imagine a city as big as New York, imagine how many missed connections, and imagine how many ads
/ digital messages in bottles closed at the mercy of the network.
Pessimists consider the message board (about 7000 posts per month) as a deposit for regrets, the most optimistic as a good opportunity for second chances ... and serendipity.
Given the times we live in, then missed connections gives people the assurance anonymity, perhaps prefer to take the risk of the approach with a stranger groped in public. Complete a
missed connection, however, is a challenge that requires a number of steps required: that the person you wish to read the message, which spares the feelings and then respond.
The phenomenon has spread here, they sell t-shirts with the inscription missed connection, there is a comic , statistics missed most places in Manhattan, articles and comments on the new york times;
even today, as expected the girls in front of Cafe Habana (those delicious corn on the cob with cheese!), young American women lined up in front of me spoke of the dreams of man cross the escalator of a supermarket (click) and then tried - unsuccessfully - on the site.
But now I say: but if he really had met the man in your life ...
you do, you let it go and hoped to Ribecco on the Internet? But
corrigli behind, no ???!!!
