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 we are privileged to have another guest post from @MattWhiting. The recap of #SIC2011 sounds great, I’m sorry I missed it. Last week I spent two days at the first annual Seattle Interactive Conference, a massive gathering of design, marketing, communications and web development professionals that focuses on the question of how … Continue reading
Guten Tag! Greetings from Munich. As I’ve been working with clients and our account teams here in Europe I get a common piece of push back and that’s that social media still has a relatively low (~30%) penetration in Germany and France. I find it useful to remind people that … Continue reading
Last week I had the opportunity to present to a group of our clients that represented multiple verticals across Europe. The topic I was asked to speak on was the Future of Digital. You know, no pressure. And actually my presentation is more about how companies can deal with environment that our … Continue reading

But do they get it right? I’m not a huge football fan unless it’s college football. However, like every good red-blooded, American, consumer I watch the Super Bowl almost every year. As a person who, for better or worse, who makes his living as a Marketer, I pay very close … Continue reading
If you haven’t seen a Cognitive Media video yet, stop what you’re doing and go watch a few, then subscribe to their blog feed. I love watching the videos they do for The RSA (the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce – longest name ever!) (The … Continue reading
Magic Dust This is going to be one of those posts. <rant> You have probably heard some variation of this lately: “Can you just take our (traditional) ideas and make them digital?” I’ve even been asked to “Sprinkle your magic on this.” Uh, is that a euphemism for something? (#yesiam12) … Continue reading
