If you use social media right, you will piss people off. It's actually recommended!
Guy Kawasaki

The more popular a person thinks he is in the blogosphere, the thinner his skin and the thicker his hypocrisy. This should be exactly the opposite: the higher you go the thicker the skin and thinner the hypocrisy.
