Funny. It is actually the comments that made me finally read the article. Nice technique. But immediately I felt sorry for all the people that come in the room alone and do not have the courage to mingle. This technique will make them feel even more bad.

Why would it make them feel worse? Wouldn't this give individuals a new technique for entering conversations?

I understand the article, that the technique consists in starting conversation with a two people that speak already - so the ones that do not have a conversation partner yet will stay alone. Or did I miss something?

I think both of you slightly misunderstood each other. You meant the people already in the room, he thought you said new people who entered.
