- Q1 Define IRL engagement. Does a “like” count? A RT? Signing a virtual petition? Events/Meetups? #wjchat

- amartinmedia (Alex J. Martin)
- @wjchat A1. To me, IRL literally means in real life. Gotta be an in-person event of some kind. Everything else is digital engagement #wjchat

- 2012-05-17T00:20:44Z
- danoshinsky (Dan Oshinsky)
- @wjchat A1 For me, I have to see the person’s face. Meetups, town halls, whatever. As long as faces are there, it’s IRL. #wjchat

- 2012-05-17T00:22:34Z
- perricollins (Perri Collins)
- @danoshinsky @wjchat I agree. If you can see the whites of their eyes, that’s engagment IRL. Likes & RTs count, but not as much. #wjchat

- 2012-05-17T00:22:39Z
- tatn (Tuyet N. T.)
- @wjchat A1 I think events/meetups count as IRL engagement. “Like” or “RT” are diff fr. IRL meet. Virtual petition is shared concern #wjchat
