Wednesday, 14 May 2014 | by Pat's Picks

Mikel McLaughlin is like many of us. He has hundreds of Facebook friends, most of whom he never sees. So he set out to visit as many as he could. The Minneapolis Star Tribune says so far McLaughlin has traveled 6000 miles to meet with 85 people over 31 days. That includes some Facebook “friends” he’d never actually met. He’s been documenting his experiences in a blog, www.werefriendsright.com.
