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.

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
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

As you can tell, I do a lot of self-reflection at the end/beginning of every year. I’ve written several 2011 reflection posts and I still have a few 2012 posts to write, namely my prediction posts. But during this whole process I almost became a bit overwhelmed. 2012 is a … Continue reading

Tomorrow morning I’ll be catching the Eurostar to Paris to attend #LeWeb 2011. I’ve never been but LeWeb has been on my to-do list for years. Apparently it’s *the* big conference here in Europe. The conference runs Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and I’ll be there for all of it. You … Continue reading
I’ve always taken a certain level of pride in always being an enigma at any place I worked. I don’t like to be categorized or pigeon holed. Because of that, this last year presented a bit of a problem for me. I have worked very hard to establish myself as … Continue reading
