Social Media: Core vs. Manufactured Self
The manufactured self and core self are not mutually exclusive; one actually cannot live without the other, but one is visceral and innate and the other highly monitored and selective. It’s sort of like Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One is in control; the outwardly respected and accepted doctor while the other is all raw emotions (negative ones mind you but still). That’s the same with us and how we share online or how we don’t share.
Lexie Kier and I were chatting over coffee this past weekend when the topic of google and privacy came up. Foursquare’s Radar feature came into the mix and we wondered if people would ever be ok with full disclosure. We both instantly said no.
We are not comfortable with that idea yet; we still need to monitor our manufactured, outward selves and protect our core. So then what about all those social apps? Millions use them so we must be ok with it. Well, not exactly. There’s a spectrum. So lexie and I mapped it out. What apps cater to the manufactured self and which to the core?
This is where we ended up.
I think this would be really cool research to see how each uses different social apps. Some who have Twitter set to private are probably way to the left while others on Twitter are completely to the right. I like where this is headed though.

OPINION – Europe has the chance to stop ACTA in its tracks
I wish government and proponents of bills like SOPA, PIPA & ACTA realized those of us opposed to them aren’t pro-pirating or pro-counterfeiting, we’re just opposed to any governing body having the ability to wield the power to shut any company, organization or individual down without due process and without transparency. Is that really so hard to understand?
This is a great video and a must watch. We can learn how to multitask and social media tools can increases our ability to learn - despite what everyone says.

(1)This really caught my eye last week. While Twitter experiments with promoting services on the side panel, FriendFeed seems to be experimenting with ‘in stream’ advertising. The ad is their own. It’s even says “Shameless self-promotion” in it. This is obviously trying to help people connect with people they already … Continue reading
Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr We have dozens of Twitter-like, microblogging applications for inside the enterprise but where’s the LifeStreaming applications? If there is one already, I’m not aware of it. Where is the Enterprise 2.0 version of FriendFeed? Where is the app that captures my work progress? Every … Continue reading
Image by Quiplash! via Flickr I’m pretty lenient when it comes to buzz words. But there are a few that make my skin crawl every time I hear them. The worst is “social media expert” and in a close second is “viral video”. YOU DO NOT MAKE VIRAL VIDEOS! You … Continue reading
Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr I have long felt that social media was grossly underutilized by local businesses. Unlike most corporate social media efforts local businesses have the ability to solidify Online relationships with real life relationships. Twitter seems to be breaking that barrier faster than any social network … Continue reading
I read a lot of blog posts. Not as many as some but more than most. Of the articles I read I ‘share’ the ones that I find most interesting. Those shared items get pushed to my FriendFeed account which then in turn get pushed to my Twitter account and … Continue reading

Last year I had very little understanding of venture capital; what it was and how it worked. VC’s were this near mythological creature that held the fate of startups in their hands. To listen to some entrepreneurs talk, VCs are like a fairy godmother who could grant instant success to … Continue reading

Image via Wikipedia How Murdoch’s Plan for Paid Content Could Work A lot is being said about Rupert Murdoch‘s plan to charge for all Newscorp Web content.

Oh yes I can see it now. Here comes the race for Twitter Search Optimization (TSO) experts. I can see “Twitter only” marketing firms and SEO firms fighting about who is better suited to provide TSO services to clients. While I joke about this I’m also (sadly) dead serious. I … Continue reading
