That particular bridge is actually made up of several different types of bridges, all working together to make up the entire length. Pretty metaphorical for a network, if you ask me!

I would also add that once a conversation bridge has been built - where appropriate - other people might be allowed/invited to use it (my network is your network etc). A wee (real) bridge story A good friend and I had some serious discussing to do. She lives a long way from me and was in town for a couple of days. We were struggling to think of a meaningful place to have our conversation and we came up with the idea of walking across the (magnificent in my view)Forth Road Bridge while we chatted! We left the car at one side which meant we had to go across and then go back. The experience - and the conversation - was great. I know that you are talking about metaphorical bridges - but in our case a real bridge came into it!! Jackie Great post Bob.

What’s missing is where I mentioned Liz’s post.

Thanks for pointing that out, Joanna! :-\

It was an interesting follow on conversation right enough. I've e-mailed Drew re a possible contribution to the next version of AoC - it would be fun to be involved Joanna Robert,I think you’re being a bit too cryptic - you haven’t mentioned Liz’s post on bridges - at least not where I can see…?

Great lesson, and be sure to read some of the other comments (on her post) for even more on the metaphor.

On of my favorites was from Aliana regarding two-way traffic. Great insights!

Conversation as a bridge. I wouldn't have thought of it, but I certainly see your point. What a great metaphor! Conversation as a bridge.
