I've attended different kinds of conferences and they can be fun, but if I need a bit of quiet time then I'll vanish for a bit, as needed.</p>Mark DykemanThu, 26 Jun 2008 12:09:42 -0000http://broadcasting-brain.com/2008/06/26/is-blogging-for-the-introverted-soul/#comment-754467<p>The web is a great way for introverts to interact in many ways, including some older methods like email and forums. In the physical world, it would be almost impossible to run a successful business and make good money as an introvert. You would have to deal with too many people (unless you're also just a crank, then you can be cranky and everyone expects it).
