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.

As you can probably tell, I’ll really excited about wearable computing. I haven’t worn a watch in at least 7 years. What’s the point? Well it looks like Casio may be the first winner in the race to come out with a watch that really works with your phone. It … Continue reading
You’ve probably heard of Path. Even if it doesn’t sound familiar you might remember last year a new social network, that many called a “Facebook killer” even before it launched, ended up being a total flop. For starters a lot of people criticized the 50 friend limit. There were other … Continue reading
Back in 2007 I wrote about the death of the wristwatch and voice messages. Then earlier this year I wrote about the rebirth of the wristwatch, as a wrist-top wearable computer, especially when paired with a bluetooth device for voice to text and text to voice. Then yesterday @nickbilton wrote … Continue reading
Last year I did a fun little post (fun for me at least) about the Top 10 posts from 2010. The trick was that the posts had to be written last year, so naturally the weight would be skewed towards posts written earlier in the year. I choose posts that … Continue reading
A few years ago I started this crazy habit of making and writing down my predictions for the coming year. I do two sets of predictions, one a serious thought out view of the 5 big trends over the next 5 years, the other is a half serious list of … Continue reading
Have you ever wished you knew how to program but didn’t know where to start? Maybe, like me, you’ve actually picked up a book or two and even asked your programmer friends to give you a few pointers but got so frustrated you quit. Over the last 7 years I’ve … Continue reading
Yesterday was the first day of #LeWeb. After getting up at 4:00 I made it through a good portion of the day but left early to go check into my hotel and ended up crashing for the night. The wifi at LeWeb was intermittent and the wifi at my hotel … Continue reading
Gowalla was just acquired by Facebook. This sounds like a great exit. Being acquired by Facebook sounds really cool. But for the investors, this wasn’t a home run. It wasn’t even a base hit. Apparently the investors will only get back a fraction of the money they put in. Don’t … Continue reading
Facebook isn’t for friends, it’s for families. Facebook just released the most shared articles on Facebook in 2011. It’s interesting to look into the collective consciousness of 800 Million people. I love that Facebook is sharing this kind of data and am very curious what other kind of data they have and … Continue reading
A year and a half ago the GeoWars took front stage at SXSW. For the next year the war would wage with dozens of of apps fighting for this small niche they all believed would be huge. But eventually Foursquare won out. Any LBS company, service or app still out … Continue reading
