Along The Board Links

Another great article.  It is wonderful to hear that my home town team for hockey is now winning.  I love the pictures and kind of play by play descriptions.  Good descriptions also of the beginning of the season, the middle of the season and now.  It is fansciating to hear what a new goalie can do, and when all the players are healthy and healed.  I hope this momentum can continue.

Social Media

Now I bet I use Social Media more than most married moms.  I try not to let it consume me but I have to admit when I don't feel like cleaning the house or the weather makes it dangerous to travel; I do get on Facebook a lot.  I am learning what to say and not to say on there.  I agree with the statement that if you don't like what someone  posted, just scroll past it.  It is their timeline and they have the freedom to put what they want.  But as with all things, there are limits.  I do feel that if you write something to make someones character look bad, or if you write swear words (yes on television we still bleep those words out). then you have use Facebook for the opposite for what the creator intended it to be.  We can state "in our opnion" or wonder why somethings is happening.

I have read children's posts complaining about their parents using terrible language.  I personally asked for suggestions what to do about my horse that is at a boarding facililty.  Just recently, a few friends of mine were involved with a incident on Facebook.  I read about a student using Twitter to persuade the school board to think about closing school because of weather.

What is proper eqtiquette these days when it comes to Social Media and the internet?  Is there such a things as too much information?  Or can we still have freedome of speech?
