Ask HN: Is it wrong to contact people via their blogs?
My city is not such a big one and there are no meetup groups that I know of and rarely any programming event is organized. So when I find some interesting blogger from my city, I usually find their email address and try to contact them to meet or have some chat.
Out of 3 times that I have tried to contact three people, no one replied. This makes me feel that I am being really stupid and pesky but my only intention is to meet new people.
- meerita 13y agoSometimes I take one week to answer emails. If I see the matter isn't important at all, it can take forever to answer. Maybe some mail goes lost, can't tell. But answering your question, no, it is not a problem to write someone if they publicly post their email addresses on their websites.
