While I considered going further and bringing up the fixation some people have with being internet famous (in this case, them wanting their tweets in a book), that’s a whole other topic for another time. <br /><br />Your book was used as an example of the way Post Secret could’ve gone about things. And generally, I’m pretty fair before I get to the point of being dismissive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13430685.post-10891324766184955152010-09-27T00:13:16.907-04:002010-09-27T00:13:16.907-04:00Hi!

I edited that book to say "I edited a book of tweets."<br /><br />My contributors had a few other motives. Some are budding professional comedians looking to get noticed. Some are friends who were glad to help with a project of mine. Many were just glad to be involved with something along with other internet friends they'd made on Twitter, and any one of us from the community could have edited that book.<br /><br />We bloggers can be bad at thinking about other people as real human beings with complicated motives before we write dismissive things. I work hard to counter that motive in my own writing, and I hope you try too.Nick Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208633180417058306noreply@blogger.com
