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 find it funny when people get upset that businesses show up in social media. From the dawn of civilization commerce has always been linked with the advancement of civilization. Of course, commerce has also been closely linked with the problems of said civilization, which is why people get upset. … Continue reading
Today marks my 5 year anniversary on Twitter @tacanderson. I’ve been on Twitter longer than I’ve been writing on this blog. I just broke 10K followers on Twitter for the second time. The last time I did, I unfollowed everyone and started over. I won’t be doing that again and … Continue reading
If you look back through the archives of this blog you’ll notice that the first three years I rarely used images, unless it was a screen grab of something. My natural inclination is to blog quick and leave my posts pure text and links. But guess what, most people are … Continue reading

But then this morning I read this great post by @SachaGreif, a freelance designer in Paris, who designed the highly successful landing page in just one hour. The moral of … Continue reading
You probably missed this little dust-up while you were still recovering from your holiday revelry.

The topic of the podcast was a panel discussion about … Continue reading
#LeWeb was a great conference. It brought together entrepreneurs, developers, businesses and marketers from all over Europe and the US. They even had a theme song to go along with the SoLoMo theme of the conference. (Warning, it will get stuck in your head.) I saw new startups and heard from established … Continue reading
