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.

(1)I had the pleasure of attending the #AdobeSocial Analytics UK launch event yesterday. This was one of the better product launch events I’ve been to. The St. Pancras Hotel where the event was held is amazing. It’s a gorgeous Victorian building inside and out. Very impressive. Adobe were great hosts, the information … Continue reading
As the list in my sidebar here suggests, I’m currently reading The Black Swan and loving it. This book has been on my mental “to read” list for years now but I have never made my around to picking it up. I seriously regret that oversight. This is a really impactful … Continue reading
We’ve been in London now for less than 2 months and most of that time has been spent trying to get settled in. But in that time we’ve also seen about a dozen museums, historical monuments, castles, palaces (Hampton Court Palace is my favorite so far) and several other sites. Londoners – … Continue reading
There was a great piece this morning by John Hagel reviewing Sherry Turkle’s new book Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other, and combining that with several other things I’ve read lately, the post got me thinking about Social Robots. I have not read … Continue reading
I learned something on the way to work this morning: My commute is exactly as long as a TED talk. You can subscribe to the podcast version which is a great way to learn something new and get your morning inspiration. It works great unless you are listening to a … Continue reading
This is one of my thinking out loud posts. I apologize in advance that this is a little rambling. Over 10 years ago I did my senior thesis in Computer Mediated Communications. I was studying chat-rooms and whether this new digital medium affected our communication behaviors and norms. Guess what … Continue reading
The GeoWars were in full frontal attack this week at SXSW. While the main battle was being fought between Foursquare and hometown favorite, Gowalla there were dozens of other location based services hoping to get some attention. I have said several times that there is no “offline” or “online” there … Continue reading
Not everyone is comfortable living in public. Some of us are pretty comfortable with it, but everyone is a little nervous about it. If you’re not you should be. There’s a simple solution. Not perfect but somehow poetic. Image by R’eyes via Flickr Here’s the fact: There is information about … Continue reading
There’s a lot of buzz around location based services. BrightKite, Google Latitude, Twitter’s new Geo data. But beyond the tech and marketing crowd there hasn’t been much acceptance. The only service I’ve seen “normal” people get a little excited about is FourSquare but that’s because of the game play (everyone wants … Continue reading
