I'm sitting here watching Headline News and the story about people criticizing "mommy bloggers" (aren't we past that term yet?) for posting and tweeting about their personal tragedies. The story is about how @Military_Mom tweeted about her 2 year-old drowning in the pool. They also interviewed Mama Spohr about reaching out to the blogosphere when her family lost Madeline. It really irks me. People who don't understand the community and relationships that are formed via social media really should stay out of it. If Military Mom wanted to reach out to her online support system during a time of turmoil, then that's her prerogative. To those who have a problem with it? Here's an idea -
Unfollow her!

I don't think that people realize that people's circles, their support systems are expanding far beyond their neighborhoods. Blogging allows a person to find people they "click" with beyond school, church, and local functions.
