Have a Nice Internet Day! Wed 10-27-2010

From kids committing suicide to nasty political ads and general snarkiness, the internet can be pretty negative some days. That's why, I'm calling for a moratorium on nastiness for one day. I don't care if you're always nice to people online or not. This idea isn't just about "you." After all, every writer knows that all words have power. Even if they're not your words. If they are? Then knock it off. For one day.

The idea is simple: Fight back with smiley faces. That's right. Smiley faces. For every crappy comment, flippant retort and mean accusation, besiege others with a grin. If you're following along on Twitter, the hashtag will be #haveaniceinternet.

Let's turn the internet YELLOW. The smiley face in this post is from this link on Stock.xchng and is okay for public use.
