Is announcing your divorce via social media -- say, a carefully worded status update on Facebook or a cheeky Instagram photo showing off your ring-less finger -- tasteless? Or is it a smart, relatively painless way to get the news across?
That's the question on our minds since we read a recent Indianapolis Star story on the pros and cons of announcing the end of a marriage online, be it in the form of a blog post or a brief, to-the-point tweet.
We were curious to know what our divorced readers had to say on the subject, so we took the question to them on Facebook and Twitter.
