Dancing is an awesome social activity. glad to see you like it. The swing/lindy hop community is great – its very friendly and welcoming. I encourage you to check out the scene in new york. As a city, I love New York. It has a romantic allure, it’s a major cultural center, and it’s a powerful hub for multiple industries. New York City does a lot of things right, and i cant even begin to scratch the surface. It presents you with endless opportunities. you’re lucky to be in such an amazing city. If you feel like your boring, pick one thing a week that you’ve never done before and do that. that’s what i’m gonna start doing.

You are many things but boring doesn’t remotely come to mind. But it’s good that you’re wanting to unplug now and again. That will give you more things to tweet about.

enjoyed reading your article. Perhaps a follow up would be in order proving a few other suggestions on how the brand ambassador in providing customer service or engendering good will in the community. Turning a negative into a positive. Addressing concerns or complaints, etc. Good stuff!

It was me, wasn’t it.

I would never post a picture of someone I thought made them look bad, but I’ve been on the other side of that situation, where the poster didn’t think anything was wrong with the picture (even though I think I looked terrible). And then of course, when I commented about it, I ended up coming off as a self-centered jerk, and worse, I hurt their feelings.

Instead of trying to untag all the terrible pictures of myself, I now resolve that every time someone posts a bad picture of me, I will post five good pictures to counteract the one I don’t like. I will also try to be less self-critical.

Oh Jess,

I should look so bad in a picture. (Hint the sarcasm in my message….they should have a button for that) I digress. You are a truly beautiful person and no stupid comment on a video or picture on facebook should every make you think otherwise. As we said in the schoolyard, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. That’s my take on it anyway. Be yourself and don’t worry about everyone else, cuz in the end you know the comments that are important.

Anyway, much love.

April

I think an important part of participating in a medium where many comment and give feedback behind the protective interface of their monitor is to have a thick skin. You have to be able to let things bounce off of you to a certain degree. Sure – take constructive criticism where it’s worth taking it, but allow frivolous negativity to fall by the way side. Jess – the comments on that video were not bad at all. That’s easy to say for me because they weren’t about me and I understand that kind of thing can be hurtful but I have seen far worse online. AND – that picture is gorgeous so shut yer face
It can be hard to remain a sensitive caring person while developing a hard outer shell but it’s the balance we all have to walk if we want to fully participate in the internet.

I agree with your points, Jessica.

However, I don’t want to see my friends and bloggers turn into media-managed, sanitized bores. Part of the appeal of social media is a feeling that we are seeing the real people behind the public persona. Fortunately there’s plenty of room between the too-good and the regretful to operate effectively.

And, for what it’s worth, I like the pic.

[...] Believe me, I’ve been there, and I’ve untagged a fair amount of photographs in my day. As I mentioned before, I even once deleted my entire Facebook account and started over just so I wouldn’t have to [...]
