The thing is, this is what I do. I do media for business. I do media for fun. I’m the guy behind the scenes that CREATES videos and CREATES storylines, so it’s my actual JOB to consider the potential context of something or how other people might perceive it.

Meanwhile, Social Media has opened up the ability to people that know NOTHING about media in general to express themselves on the net. Over and over and over and over and over, people do things that they THINK are contained, but they’re really not. They THINK they’re private, but they’re really not.

Social Media is our opportunity to interact with people all over the world, and that’s an incredible and fantastic thing… but Social Media’s also a minefield…

Thinking about your accountability to everyone, including your kids, really hits the nail on the head, as is being prepared to own your words.

This is way more complicated to manage than it used to be. Everything we say and do has far wider-reaching consequences than ever before, and we have to adjust for that.

Thank you for bringing some healthy, constructive discourse into the conversation.
