Social Media Sensitivity? | What was your response to the Boston Marathon Bombing?

Jess finishing the marathon she ran in 2011.

I pulled my scheduled facebook post and tweet that pointed to this blog post Monday evening....

Two Things That Have Blessed Me Recently

In comparrison to the bombing that happened in Boston I didn't think that a post about what I was doing that day was very important.

I checked twitter to see if anyone else had stopped their scheduled tweets, one of the main bloggers I follow did not.  

On Monday facebook was full of comments about the Boston Marathon Bombing as well as the regular everyday status updates.  

It reminded me of when 9/11 happened and I was in school... some people were affected by it, barley able to move, blank stares on their faces and I remember others scampering to their next class laughing and carrying on like nothing happened.  

I didn't tweet or update my facebook status saying anything about the bombing.  I tend not to talk much about current events online.  I feel like there are enough people saying things.  

So this all leaves me asking questions.  Is there a "correct" response to national and international tragedy?   And how should that be represented in our social media?
