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.

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
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 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
The first link I read this morning was about the movie industry and how bad of a year 2011 was. It was really bad. The worst year since 1995. While this is bad, I wouldn’t feel too bad for the movie industry as they’ve still managed to squeeze out record … Continue reading
I love book stores but after years of debating back and forth with myself on this blog whether I could make the switch, I’ve made the switch and I don’t see myself going back. Yes I’ve also pointed out that I will still be buying physical books for a while, … Continue reading
Amazon recently signed a deal with Tim Ferris for some serious money. Apparently they will publish not only the publish the Kindle version but a hard cover version. - That’s interesting. To me that’s the real question of viability of Amazon as a publisher. Right now if an author self publishes an … Continue reading
In the news today, Borders is closing all remaining stores. It was unavoidable that a few of the big bookstores were doomed. But even Borders larger competitor, Barnes and Noble is struggling. Both have launched eReaders to challenge the Kindle. B&N’s Nook is doing better than the Borders backed Kobo … Continue reading
We’re out and about in London today. The girls (@jenxmusic & @Emma_Lorene) are out shopping in Coventry Garden for Emma’s birthday. The first stop we made this morning was Waterstone’s bookstore. It’s a great place in a cool building and we picked up about 5 books. The we went to … Continue reading
As I write this post I’m listening to my headphones, my foot tapping along to the music. This morning while I was driving in to work I was listening to the audio of James Gleick’s The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood. Wasn’t my brain doing more than one thing … Continue reading
For some reason great books come in pairs. This morning I think I just found the next great pair.
