Drama in a Web 2.0 World

I take pride in keeping the Drama-level in my life at low but recent events have taken my Drama-level to new heights.   I'm really okay with - and am even enjoying the excitement of - some of the Drama but a Web 2.0 World has totally changed how Drama occurs.  

This past year I joined the Board of Directors of an association.  We have a big event coming up in June and, as always when deadlines approach, pressures are mounting.

In person meetings are manageable...unless there is someone on the other end of a speakerphone.

Chats are tolerable...but conversations and threads overlap...and there is always a record of what was "said."  (Have you ever read a chat transcript after the fact? OUCH!)

Email strings go on forever...and cc lists are long (and not always edited correctly!)  And who is being bcc'd???

Thankfully, I don't think FaceBook and Twitter have picked up on our Drama yet which is good. I hope we can keep it a little private.

I'm happy to say that our June event will be magnificent (though there may be a few dead bodies along the way) and lots of lessons will be learned.  For me, I'm learning how to manage Drama in a Web 2.0 World.
