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.

During the holidays I updated this site. I added a new theme (the free Mantra WordPress theme for those interested) and finally dug around in files to dig out a piece of code some spammers inserted that was showing bad links in the footer. Nothing malicious to anyone visiting the … Continue reading
I’m experimenting with ways of reposting the many links and thoughts I share on Tumblr, here on this blog. Diigo has an auto post option so I’m trying it out, but I’m not sure I’m happy with this way. Do you find this useful at all or not? If you … Continue reading
When you mention bad press around online privacy, there are two companies that come to the forefront: Google and Facebook. Go ahead, do a search for “online privacy” and be sure to click on the news section of Google search or Bing, and let me know what you get. As … Continue reading

Restaurants Will Offer Facebook Credits Incentives: Plink. To earn Facebook Credits, users join Plink by logging … Continue reading
It struck me that modern business over the last 50 years, and even more recently, has become the new modern warfare. I think man (both the generic term for mankind and also men specifically) needs conflict. We need to fight and conquer. Sadly that has usually involved human life, but … Continue reading
I’ve written before about new communication theory which describes Masspersonal Communication as a framework to think about our Interpersonal communication that takes place in a Mass Media environment. The theory is actually a lot richer than that. So much so that as I was re-reading the paper where it discusses trust … Continue reading
Besides using freelancers (and just giving journalists cameras) the big trend at papers is to crowdsource citizen journalists. One can rightfully argue for the loss of quality but, especially online, readers respond better (meaning spend time with and engage more with) to low quality “real” photos and videos. While they … Continue reading
I read a lot of business books. Far more than I would actually like to read honestly. And while I tend to learn something from ever book I read, with very, very few exceptions, I would learn just as much (probably more) if those books were shorter. In fact many … Continue reading
I’ve been quite on the blog here for several days. I actually think this has been my longest stretch without blogging for quite a while. If you follow me over on Twitter you know I’ve just made a trip to Helsinki, Finland where @prgeek and I led a training session. … Continue reading
I really like this approach to blogging. I ask a question before I go to bed here in the UK and when I wake up my friends back in the US have answered the question for me (along with a few Brits). Then while they’re all asleep I round-up the … Continue reading
