It's funny because this is the antithesis of my experience. A few of my best friends I met through remote teams. One of them I knew for years, and we finally met in person, in Raleigh at the IBM campus. IT was funny because it was a little awkward at first and then we fell into old conversations just like we did on Skype. For every project we have a group chat on Skype and we encourage tech talk and friendly banter. Some of my best friends in the world I have never met in person and I know a good bit of personal detail about them. I have found the experience to be exactly the same as being in a collocated area.
