I tend to agree with you that Social Search is a good thing as it brings more relevant and personalized content to my searches. I also agree that the same social principles we use in real life are also important online. Unfortunately, many web surfers use the perceived anonymity of the web as a launching pad for unwarranted and defamatory attacks. Thanks for your comment Heather.

Of course you want the information that you put out there to BE valuable! That isn't new however! As 'new' as all of this may seem, in many respects I believe it simply takes us back to many age old principles: Be yourself, and Be the best you can be Think before you speak (read: post) Sure, it would be great to have "the good without the bad", but in this life, when you block out the bad, you also miss out on the good...(IMHO:) As someone who tries to always see the “bright side”, in many cases (esp. the small business owners and entrepreneurs that I work with), this is great news.

Sure, it would be great to have “the good without the bad”, but in this life, when you block out the bad, you also miss out on the good…(IMHO:)
