It's definitely overall a very positive experience, only I've become a bit jaded as some of it has seemed tainted. Here's hoping that swings back around -- I'm still, and always will be, grateful for the community. And when I take a hard look at it, the positives outweigh the negatives. Thanks for the comment! Dani: I hope it hasn’t changed your mind on social media! It’s definitely overall a very positive experience, only I’ve become a bit jaded as some of it has seemed tainted. Here’s hoping that swings back around — I’m still, and always will be, grateful for the community. And when I take a hard look at it, the positives outweigh the negatives. Thanks for the comment!

It's being able to meet people like you -- who live in my own community, no less! -- that I wouldn't have otherwise met that makes me so grateful for this form of connecting. Honestly, there is a lot about social media about which I'm cynical, and this post was highlighting the negative things I've seen happening around twitter and the blogosphere and that I personally have been experiencing. Because of that, I still hold what I say to be true -- for me, at least. But you're right in that there really are so many more positives, and those positives are what make it worth it. I want to take your idea of liberally using the block button and applying it. While it can be overwhelming at times, the best part about forming communities may be just that -- we're in control of them. Also: I absolutely loved your video! You did a great job and I want to encourage everyone to take a look! Kelly: I love this comment but it’s so true, and people have been reminding me of the same truth every day.
