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.
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 →

So I’ve made the prediction that Marketing and PR (and potentially all comms) will be rolled up into one group. Making the prediction was easy. There are way to many inefficiencies in the way companies communicate. Now I ask myself the “put your money where your mouth is” question: What … Continue reading →
Here’s some images I pulled from a rough draft proposal I’ve been working on. I’ve really been taking a look at how should communications organizations be structured moving forward and what are the processes that need to be developed? I’d love your thoughts. Communication used to be one way and … Continue reading →
So I thought I’d explain the title of my blog: NewCommBiz I like things that are new. It doesn’t even really matter what it is, just new stuff in general really interests me. How/why is this new? Where did the idea come from? Who thought of the idea? Is this … Continue reading →
Greg Stielstra and his book, PyroMarketing were an early influence on me in my new media development. The book is amazing and if there is ever a guy who GETS the philosophy of web2.0 it is Greg, you can actually download the audio of his book for free. Tonight the … Continue reading →
What is the big deal about New Media? Why do people think that anyone cares enough about what they have to say that they start blogging? If you don’t know, you are obviously not blogging. On my new business cards (when they get done) my title will say Phenomenologist (it … Continue reading →
