Comments on: It’s Not Me http://www.jjprojects.com/2008/02/06/its-not-me/ our social web: news and opinion from John Johnston on the state of the social media. Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:43:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: jj http://www.jjprojects.com/2008/02/06/its-not-me/comment-page-1/#comment-22 jj Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:30:31 +0000 http://www.jjprojects.net/?p=7#comment-22 @Yas Yeah, I think you've got to take the good with the bad. I did decide to put myself out there in this way. I have nearly a thousand followers on Twitter, so there are bound to be a certain number of negative elements. It's just part of the deal on the web I think. @Carrie Thx for following me on Twitter. The vast majority of my experiences on Twitter have been very positive. I've met a LOT of great people, both online and off from Twitter. As I said, I follow a lot of people and a lot of people follow me - same with Julia. You do have to be careful on any social network I think, but in general people are very polite and friendly on Twitter. You can block people too, if you need as well. @Yas Yeah, I think you’ve got to take the good with the bad. I did decide to put myself out there in this way.

I'm also a relatively new Twitter user. I gotta say, I love Twitter, but this is the second disturbing post I've seen in two days. Yesterday, I read about Julia Roy's stalker on Twitter, and now I'm reading about your run-in. Is this a common occurence on Twitter? Hi JJ,

That must have been weird experience... I guess, when you publicly voice your thoughts/opinions out there, you'd get various responses (which I believe it's one of the fundamental functions of social networking), but that doesn't necessarily allow us to literally do whatever we want.

I would like to apologise to you publicly if it freaked you out. It was done on a whim, and after thinking about it, I realized it wasn't a very pleasant thing to do. I have deleted the account. Please accept my sincerest apology, JJPROJECTS. The account you refer to has been deleted.

Seems ironic based on your first post of the year. Sometimes the social media freeway doesn't take you to nice places. A little freaky to be sure. Seems ironic based on your first post of the year.
