Not a dumb question at all - I kind of thought the same at first.
This chat is just a way to connect to and encourage each other with our reports of keeping on going. And we can prod, report our successes, challenge one another...
Finally, if you know anyone, anywhere who also walks, and you have cell phones, you can virtually walk together. This is how I have kept in touch with over a half dozen friends and relatives this summer and fall. Either we arrange in advance a time to walk and talk, or I spontaneously call them as I set out to walk and invite them to join me and we catch up. It's harder to do this in the cold, but I find I can put on an earphone/mic and put the phone in my pocket to keep the battery warm.
Feel free to tell us a little about yourself, set an easy walking goal (you can up it as you progress) and join us.
My goal (now that I spend an hour a day chasing toddlers in the cold most days) is to walk 30 minutes on my days off. I missed this past weekend due to a mysterious muscle spasm in my back, but I'll get back on track this morning while Auntie entertains the boys.

@marijou, I'm wondering too! Watching in the house on internet or maybe a video on smart phone while on a walk outside? I'm not very clued in on anything to do with "smart" tv's, phones, technologies soo, guess we know what that makes me!! lol
