@Marsha- thank you for taking time to comment. Social media is definitely experimental and that is a good thing for us all to keep in mind as we wade (or plunge) into it every day.

Thanks for the reminder that we’re doing something that most people aren’t – it’s experimental in a big way and all of us are risk takers. I like the feeling that there’s really no failure – just experiments that didn’t work and you learn and move on to the next. Just about anything that ends up in a mess is easily cleaned up.

@Naomi- I think you bring up an important point- no matter what generation we’re from, we are all learning social media and we are all benefiting from getting to know people we might never encounter otherwise. I’m grateful for meeting you and that would not have happened (at least when it did) if not for social media. Thanks for the added perspective.

@Shennee- Thank you for commenting. It’s nice to know I have you in my corner.

@Shauna- Good point- it is scary at first. People should definitely not feel intimidated because it is new to us all.

@Paul- I love your addition to the analogy. How nice to be connected to the kids in the neighborhood. And, glad you’re one of them.
