About blogging, twitter, and narcissism…

I was reading a blog post today from Chris Brogan about how we need to stop talking about ourselves… It seems with all of this social media excitement comes a price, everyone not only wants to be, but now thinks that they are a star. Twitter can breed a bit of egotism, I mean when you’re constantly updating people with what you’re doing, and pretending that they actually give a crap, that you’re literally taking a crap.

Instead, as Chris put it, we need to be more self-less in our writing, our blogging, and our tweeting, and other updates. Talk about others, lift others up, and they will return the favor. Let’s all stop thinking about ourselves, and start talking about the other guy. I must say that I am as guilty as anyone with regards to this, and I apologize, and am going to try to turn over a new leaf, and write more blog posts that are not self centered.
