Any Survivors on Google Plus?

Just wondering if there are any survivors using Google Plus? I was thinking of creating a survivor circle on there and using it to share articles or other interesting things that I either don’t take the time to write up as a blog post. Mostly I want to see if it’s easier to use that as a sharing service than the current way I’m using Twitter and the Facebook fan page.

So if you’re on Google Plus,  look me up and let me know you’re out there so I can add you to the Survivors Circle and share things with you. If you’re not on there, and want to check it out, leave a comment and fill in the email address, and I’ll send you an invite. If you really don’t want to use yet another social network, feel free to connect on Twitter or the Facebook fan page too. I will still be sharing some things there as well.

Also, in case you’re wondering, with all the various social networking tools available now, I’m not seeing much of a need for the Survivors Network. Frankly, hosting it and keeping the software up to date might be more work than the value anyone seems to be getting out of it right now. I haven’t made any firm decisions yet, but someone is really going to have to convince me to keep it around.

  • Why Reading Just The Headline is Misleading

    The content of the article is pretty accurate, but if you saw the article shared on Twitter, for example, with just the headline, what would your take-away be? Oh, the headline? This is what it said:

    “If this happened to you in childhood, you may have mental health problems”

    That headline seems to imply the exact opposite of the content of the article. The study they are reporting on, actually says the opposite of that. It implies that we really don’t know or understand all of the causes of mental health issues. For some, it may be tied to childhood trauma, for another person it may be tied to something else, or someone with a lot of childhood trauma didn’t grow up with mental health issues. 

    Since we know many, many people only read the headline and then either move on, or share based on the headline alone. I can’t help but wonder how many people are sharing something, assuming that it says that childhood trauma causes mental health issues, when the article actually says it’s more complicated than that.
