Caring for your online introvert

Fellow introvert Joanne McNeil on Jonathan Rauch’s classic article on introverts and what introversion might mean on the internet.

Social media drains me like a large party might. I just deactivated Facebook. And I don’t @ much on Twitter. Too often it feels like the “fog of [an extrovert’s] 98-percent-content-free talk,” as Rauch put it.

Update: The original article appears to be offline, so I’ve linked to a copy at The Internet Archive instead. (via @t045tbr0t)
