Jess finishing the marathon she ran in 2011.
I pulled my scheduled facebook post and tweet that pointed to this blog post Monday evening....
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?
