Really glad to see more social enterprise companies going public.
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.

I super excited about this next week for a few reasons. First off because I get to go back to the US for a week. I’ll be in Seattle Mon-Wed and then I’ll be in San Francisco Thur-Fri. The second reason I’m excited which is the whole reason I’m going, is to … Continue reading
The more prevalent social media becomes and the closer we become as a society we seem to be more and more stuck on the differences. Quick social media interactions also seem to be replacing deeper, real life relationships and interactions. The theme’s been going around. Mahandra Palsule (@scepticgeek), who’s an … Continue reading
Today is my five-year bloggiversary. I launched this blog right after I left my job as the head of New Media for a small consulting agency. It was my first job in this space and the beginning of a long and wonderful journey. This blog has been the catalyst – … Continue reading
After last weeks automated link post, I asked for feedback and was told that a shorter list, hand curated, with commentary, would be better. Five links was the original suggestion but I couldn’t limit myself to just five, so you get ten. These are all pulled from New Comm Biz … Continue reading
I’ve been following this same trend myself. There are so many tech startups that get acquired just for their engineering talent. It’s why I made this picture here. Sometimes (often times) it’s because the startup in question is failing and the acquiring company can get a good deal and save … Continue reading
Amazon is a monster. It’s massive and it swallows industries whole. It’s patient and relentless. Amazon is a great competitor if you’re a small startup, because they’ll most likely just buy you. If you’re a big traditional company, they’re your worst nightmare. B&N has been in a long slow battle … Continue reading
There is a lot of hype around gamification right now. Some people take issue with my enthusiasm. The debates are nothing new really. It’s the usual debates, rants, diatribe, and guru posturing we saw around blogging, Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0 (and every other 2.0), crowdsourcing, virtual worlds, microblogging, augmented reality, … Continue reading
Over the last 3-5 years we’ve seen an interesting change evolve in terms of social media “ownership.” It used to be that between PR and Advertising, PR typically came out on top. In the Paid, Earned and Owned model, social media typically falls more neatly under Earned, which is the … Continue reading
I love this photo. I use it at the start of almost all of my presentations lately. It’s of a couple that’s expecting a baby, sitting on the floor of a Target, comparison shopping and looking up reviews of baby monitors. This was taken early 2011 so this US, PEW research … Continue reading
I love the idea of startup incubators in all their variety. Most tech minded entrepreneurs are familiar with the “traditional” incubators like Y Combinator. But what if you’re not in the Bay Area? When I lived in Boise, I started TechBoise as a way to highlight the local tech scene … Continue reading
