Social Media is Not Therapy
Fellow Twitterers, Facebookers, Tumblrs, Flickerers, and Posterousies – Social Media is not the forum for you to clear your mental cobwebs or deep-seeded issues. Of course, the occasional “my plane is 16 hours late”, or “another one of my socks just caught on fire…AGAIN!” rants are completely acceptable. But, in general I think we should share some info/laughs/opinions but please, please cease and desist with the vomitous therapy posts.
Here’s how to tell if you are a candidate for Psycho of Web 2.0. Stand back and look at your stream of output – do you see a thread? Does that thread sound like a person ready to jump off a tall building, or take a long nap in a running car with the garage door closed? It’s time to start talking to someone else – or at least keep it to yourself.
