A recent article from the Wall Street Journal has found some rather interesting conclusions. With so much content on CorporateWhiteOut referring to people who have messed up on a social media site, perhaps this post is of interest.
Everyone sits on their throne when they read through Twitter, Facebook, or other social media site. Even more, they really feel a power when they have the anonymous post opportunity. Reading through various posts and feeds, WSJ journalist investigated the question, "Why are people so rude when they converse online?"
Suicides, ruined relationships and lost jobs are all attributed to some of the postings found on social media sites.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the self-esteem boost one receives when they are "liked" online, helps boost their general mood. With this, comes a misbalance of decision making.
Whether or not it is correlated, this article draws parallels between people with "Facebook addiction" and people with eating disorders and financial issues. While there are plenty of other variables to consider, Facebook is a common thread in the 541 people interviewed.
What do you think? Rude comments are not encouraged, yet expected. Happy posting!
