You've absolutely hit the nail on the head. Knowing your audience is key. Also, I think, it depends on whether what you are tweeting or blogging or sharing about is closely related to the issues (including tragedies) happening in the news. Let's face it. If you blog and share pretty much exclusively about Pacific Rim finance, there are some news events, no matter how tragic, that may seem incongruous to your followers and readers. Trying to shoehorn the issue in may come off as simply inappropriate. Above all, know who you are talking to and use common sense.
