A group of us have been having a debate about what you should really post on social media outlets because, while you may have a large group of 'friends" most should really be called acquaintances as you rarely come into contact with them and while you might share a beer or two with them you really only know each other superficially.
The thing is, sharing news in this fashion can be very efficient. Those who want to respond will do so. Others will not, and that seems to be OK.
SR.com is the same way - perhaps with even a bit of a different twist. Many of us here, as opposed to something like Facebook, have never met F2F and only know each other by our handles, what we post about and our general inclinations. Even though we may have never met we would consider some we have discussions with here to be our friends. We know that we could walk up to each other and shake hands or hug, have some brews and some smoked meats, and pick up the friendship just as you would any other you have had for years.
I would consider a fair number of you to be in that category for me and I have been blazingly honest about things which have happened in my life. Some have ignored (which is OK) and some have weighed in with all due support and advice.
Having said that, how do you let a group of people know about something important in your life?
