Connecting Virtual Communities with Putao—Net Meeting Celebration Shows Power of the Popular Economy 葡萄藤串起虛擬世界的社群熱情 網聚嘉年華 展現庶民經濟活力
It's human nature to look for other people with similar interests. Technologies like the Internet and mobile broadband simply provide people with the tools and means to fulfill these needs. The transition from virtual to real-world gatherings is also a part of this process. Using real-world activities to strengthen the bond between members of a virtual community has become a part of community life.
尋找有相同嗜好的夥伴是人們的天性，網際網路和行動寬頻等科技，只是用來滿足人們在這方面需求的工具和手段。讓人們從虛擬走向實體聚會，也是這過程中伴隨發生的現象。虛擬社群透過實體活動強化成員間關係，已化為社群生活的一部分。
The "Qixi Gathering" organized by Putao.com and the Taso Youth Care Foundation is a large-scale real-world net meeting that attempted to integrate the virtual community with the real-world community in New Taipei City's Linkou District. Combining the elements of community celebrations, regional farmer's markets, community shops, the traditional Qixi festival and singles' parties, the celebration attracted hundreds of people including families and young men and women from Linkou and nearby areas.
由葡萄藤在地生活網和大碩青年關懷基金會所合辦的「七夕踹共園遊會」，是嘗試整合虛擬社群與新北市林口地區實體社區的大型實體網友聚會，同時結合社區園遊會、區域農場市集、社區商店、中國七夕情人節未婚青年男女聯誼等多項社交元素，吸引數百名林口與鄰近的家庭與青年男女參與。
Jun-cheng Hong, the event organizer and CEO of Taso Knowledge Bank, said that the main goal of the event was to break down the apathy and feeling of isolation that virtual environments create in real-world communities.
主辦這項活動的大碩知識庫營運長洪俊誠說，發起這項活動的主要目的，就在於打破虛擬環境在現實社區環境中所形成的人際冷漠及疏離感。
