Our Week In The Web: July 25, 2014

It certainly has been a bit of a time since the last our roundup of digital digressions. A week of rebroadcasts — like the one we had from July 14 to July 18 — certainly makes for a rather boring week of web content. No new guests, few new social media interactions and nothing but a lot of depressing news to digest at the end of it all. But we're back on board this week, even if regular captain / host Tom Ashbrook is still out to sea for the time being. (He returns Monday). Our main point of interest this week is misplaced comments and misdirected ire. Some of you left angry notes on several different pages wondering where the Nickel Creek hour originally scheduled for Thursday, July 24 at 11 am disappeared to. The most egregious of those comments were left immediately to the left of a blog post explaining just exactly where that hour went. Our advice in this regard is simple: look around! We've said it before in regards to Facebook and Twitter comments, but the same applies to our main asset pages as well. You might think something is missing, or misplaced, or disappeared, but in all likelihood, the asset you're looking for isn't even hiding: it's still right there. Before leaving an angry question or remark about a piece of web content, make sure the thing you're seeking isn't nearby. Everyone wins, especially you.
