Online Social Conversation: One Listener’s Noise

August 7, 2008 by Liz

Doesn’t Mean I Should Listen

A constant conversation weaves through the social media landscape. Folks who participate soon understand that we can’t monitor it all. We’re a box of birds chattering morning until night.

Some folks add wisdom. Some folks mostly listen. Some folks are entertaining. Some are self-serving or ridiculous. Some just say “hi.”

Most of us seem to care whether our words add information, entertainment, or support.

Yet, some folks use the conversation to make remarks at another’s expense. The long-term wisdom of that I’ll never understand.

Call me crazy, but I don’t need unnecessary, unverified negative news and ranting. I guess one listener’s signal is another listerner’s noise.

We always have the choice to to say, “Thank you and good bye!” as we walk away.

What sort of noise are you filtering out these days?
