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.

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
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.

I’ve worked in tech for a while now and it absolutely amazes me how worked up people get over things like operating systems, programming languages, and applications. The way some people hate or love certain brands is a bit scary. I’ve seen people turn red in the face, screaming at … 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
Social media is maturing, it’s becoming ubiquitous. It will mature the exact same way as every other marketing channel.

The … Continue reading

I’ve been thinking a lot about the challenges the companies face with social media and using it for marketing. There are lot to be sure but there’s one in particular that I haven’t heard anyone talk about yet; distributing your content. In the early days (a few years ago) making … Continue reading
