Just a short post here as I’ve been at Budapest’s Future Internet Conference this week with the ceFIMS project.
A while ago, I stated proudly that we are all citizen journalists now. Being able to post our thoughts and opinions on the Internet empowers us (whether anyone notices our postings or not is another matter).
This great “empowering” has come back to bite me a little.
I’ve been looking up hotels for a family holiday and, hence, trawling reviews on tripadvisor and the like.
Conclusion: when you’re being a citizen journalist, say thank you for good service and be honest-yet-diplomatic when you feel you’ve been had. Don’t be a loud mouth screaming at passers by on the street – it’s not nice and people will assume you’re mad.
