[...] I’ve recently been talking offline with and about the “uninitiated” who are afraid of what social media and blogging will have to say about their business. You can watch that train of thought emerge in posts such as “When someone steals your branding” and “The shit fight is beginning – should you join in?” [...]

Barbara – the shit fights used to rage on the editorial pages of the newspapers (pre-pre historic?) and before that they took place in the town square. The difference between those exchanges and the ones online is that those exchanges usually faded into obscurity fairly rapidly. Today’s shit fights take place online under the watchful eye of Google and the other search engines and can live for as long as the Web Archives want to keep track of them. Imagine your children’s grandchildren finding your comments on this blog post in the next century. It makes your creed a wise one indeed!!!

You know, long long ago, back before the earth’s crust cooled (late 1980s), sh*t storms were really popular in newsgroups like alt.flame and the like. I for one never see the plain simple reason for blatantly attacking someone online…and can only marvel at the, ahem, diversities of opinions that are always shown.

I live by the creed, my kids will find EVERYTHING I write online…so it had better put the All Powerful Mother Unit in a brilliant light.

LMAO Kathy – I’ve barely read a thing this year, never mind logged onto Twitter. It sounds like I’ve missed a whole heap of goings on. Now I’ll have to check out that Darren Rowse post.

Patricia -

How about this – you’re traveling in kinder gentler waters ONLINE. I know you’re active in Barbara Swafford’s circle and hers is DEFINITELY a “kinder, gentler” side to the web.

It’s probably never to early to watch for storms OR sharks in the online waters!
