The same thing happens on my glass forums - there are some very 'famous' beadmakers who people are honoured to interact with. But I have never given much credence to celebrity status anyway. I respect peoples accomplishments and experience, but that does not make me feel that I am not worthy of joining a discussion with them or interacting. <BR/><BR/>The point I think we need to remember about this whole issue is to be aware of how we are behaving with everyone in our online community - not overstepping boundaries or being more familiar than is invited. I make no distinction between 'celebs' and 'normal' people when making a decision about how to proceed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293651735518246988.post-53539614374963151072007-11-24T17:31:00.000-07:002007-11-24T17:31:00.000-07:00The trouble with twittering, blogging and IM is ho...The trouble with twittering, blogging and IM is how we perceive our voice is often different to how others interpret and perceive it. With f2f body language gives us a lot of visual clues which we lose when using text only. <BR/><BR/>Sure being familiar with a person's online voice helps but I have ended up in a heated exchange with an online friend because we both misinterpreted what each other was saying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293651735518246988.post-23971702121399629962007-11-24T10:02:00.000-07:002007-11-24T10:02:00.000-07:00Thank you, Darren, for so eloquently saying exactl...Thank you, Darren, for so eloquently saying exactly how I feel. I, too, apologize for any unintentioned boundary stepping. I did feel, when I went to TechForumNY that I was meeting celebrities..and then I actually got to have lunch with them! But please, celebs, keep Twittering. We minions need someone to learn from - even if it is just learning how to be socially acceptable in Twitter.Lisa Parisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139683732388415845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293651735518246988.post-2671713297071008232007-11-24T09:34:00.000-07:002007-11-24T09:34:00.000-07:00Nice thinking, I always noticed how easy it was to...Nice thinking, I always noticed how easy it was to miscommunicate via chat and twitter leaves little room to elaborate at times. I call it thoughtcasting and I always hope that others are giving me the benefit of the doubt. At the end of the day, it's like being in the car with these people. Sometimes you have amazing conversations and sometimes there is a smell coming from the back seat but my network is my web family and I love them for who they are and their willingness to drive with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293651735518246988.post-9421749469025844292007-11-24T09:32:00.000-07:002007-11-24T09:32:00.000-07:00Well said Darren!
