Thank you for this thoughtful post, Drew, but there may not be a higher percentage of "unrespectful" people on social networking sites than in "real life". As long as you have the ability to pick and chose whom you "befriend" with and / or whom you "follow", then the rest is just harmless noise (unless someone was "libelous" in your back).

All of the things I talk about are directed to myself as well as others, so hopefully nobody gets rubbed the wrong way.

It's just true. A lot of people are ok at conferences because they're "on" about something. But in regular real life situations it's a very few who can be themselves and still be a real friend and someone you'd want to hang out with again.

It just kind of makes me sad is all.

I agree man. I guess it goes back to a 'Jack of all trades but master of none'. You spread out so thin that your community is diminished by its lack of personal attention.

It not only tough to keep up with them, and this is exactly what you stressed at Podcamp... very true.
