in The More We Connect, The More We Lose Touch on danny brown - social media pr and marketing
Hi Danny - I know just what you mean. When you asked about upgrade issues earlier today I actually felt guilty that I couldn't offer more help :-) I really wanted to but I've reached a point where I can't offer free help to everyone even if I really really like that person. I'm not saying you were asking for anything - I voluntarily answered your questions but I still felt like I should be doing more. Maybe it can be hard to be connected to so many people when you're a kind and giving person ...?

in Virtual Stalking - A Real World Problem for Social Media on danny brown - social media pr and marketing
I believe the blocking feature on twitter is effective. It is my understanding that if enough users block the same account it triggers a review by twitter. Now I believe this is uses as an anti-spam measure but it seems that it would also work against stalkers.
I do not believe the answer is becoming less open. That causes bad to win over good and that is never the ideal solution.

The blocking option is definitely effective. I'm just curious how many times someone has to be blocked before Twitter investigates, while in the meantime the abuser or harasser continues to bombard people. Sometimes they seem really slow to react.

in Fear Factor on danny brown - social media pr and marketing
I think if we realize that the unknown, uncertainty and change are the only constants in life than we will stop being fearful. Accept what happens and then make a plan to move forward.
If two years ago, someone had told me about all the changes that would occur in my life, I would have laughed and thought it was ridiculous. But I got upset, made a plan and then got through it. I believe that the adversity has made me a stronger and more confident person.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it Kim? Sometimes it's what makes me wonder about people saying they'd change things in their lives if they had a second chance. If it's these things (good and bad) that make us who we are, isn't it being counter-active if we wish them to change?

in Taking It Back to Basics | danny brown on danny brown - social media pr and marketing
I liked the video post - it makes me feel like I "know" you better :-)
The point about language is true in so many areas. When I write articles about WordPress code or talk to clients about customizations, I try to tailor the language to their skill level. If someone doesn't know what I'm talking about, I'm unable to help them.
Your kitty isn't that much of a whore - she wouldn't even show her face ;-)

I actually tried panning round to him (he's a boy) but then he jumped off, so you could be right ;-)
It is a matter of tailoring to the audience. I guess the main problem online is that we don't always know what audience there is. There's no guarantee that a blog reader is up-to-speed with niche words, or a new subscriber is interested in the technical side of things, more the theory.
As Lizz mentioned, keeping it simpler often reaps the better rewards - then your whole audience is involved.
Fine line, for sure. :)

Perhaps if you're open it can be more difficult. As you say, sometimes you really don't want to say no or offer a reason for conflict, but I guess that sometimes needs to happen to keep the long-term peace?
