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)Yesterday I asked for help coming up with topics to write about and the question came from one of my high school friends about how to get VC funding for your start-up. As many of you know I used to be the Entrepreneur in Residence at Highway 12 Ventures, so … Continue reading
In the nearly five months I’ve been working in EMEA I’ve already been to London, England; Munich, Germany; Paris, France; Edinburgh, Scotland; Johannesburg, South Africa and am already making travel plans for Turkey, Finland, Ireland and Italy. When I go to each of these location I make a point to … Continue reading
Coffee and Power is a very interesting start-up. I can’t help but love this and want to see it succeed. It speaks to everything I believe about where the future of work is going. I’ve been a big believer in co-work spaces and even helped launch one in my hometown … Continue reading
My first business, when I was in my late 20′s, was a skateboard shop in Las Vegas and I learned one very important lesson: Nothing hits harder than concrete. I learned this lesson because things never go as smooth as you would like. Owning a business is probably the hardest … Continue reading
All The Rules Have Changed But Companies and Governments Are Still Trying To Play The Same Game As I’ve stated before I’m not an economist but I’m starting to think that not being an economist, but being a participant observer, makes me a better judge of what’s wrong and how … Continue reading
We talk a lot about the recession. We talk a lot about social media and it’s disruptive nature. I’ve noted before that the industry of social media has only benefited from the recession. And I’ve always believed that entrepreneurs had the most to gain and that they are our best … Continue reading
This was a hard post for me to write. I tried 3 or 4 times over the last few days to write it. I’d start and stare at the plank page (page meaning my computer screen), I’d write something and delete it (something I rarely do). I tried writing in … Continue reading
I came across this great article on HBR a few weeks back and have been meaning to do a quick post on it. It’s about those really lucky people in business that we all know. The ones who work hard and always seem to catch a break. Yeah, you know … Continue reading
There’s a lot of talk about the next tech bubble. And while I’m sure there will be market adjustments (as there always is) I think there are a lot of things that are more over inflated than the tech world. Like education, personal debt and I still think the housing … Continue reading
I have a confession. I’m actually not a big Seth Godin fan. I like him well enough and I think he’s talented at coming up with great analogies not coming up with anything new. I don’t mean to disrespect him, I just don’t think he’s as great as most in the Marketing … Continue reading
