The outpouring of love and concern for our friend Katie has been something impressive to see. In addition to knocking down her blog for most of yesterday, mine went down sometime in the wee hours of this morning. I suspect the tweet from Heather Armstrong (@Dooce) had something to do with that.
There are so very many people who have reached out in person and online to express their condolences to Katie and her family that it’s only partially amazing to me that it has only caused two blogs to temporarily crash. As I said yesterday elsewhere in the online world, you all have done much to put a beautiful human face on the power of social media. I don’t try to speak for Katie often, but I suspect she would say this is why she loves to be a part of so many online communities.
Thanks to all of you. I’ll be posting links to additional information about Katie in a moment.
