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’s guest post is provided by @ben_beck It’s been a heated debate between Facebook and Google+ on which is better. When big names like Chris Brogan abandoned there Facebook pages to head to Google+ it sparked a wave of Google+ VS Facebook videos. Of all the videos these are my favorites, … Continue reading
I love Twitter’s use of the # hashtag and @ reply. I’ve even installed the blackbird plugin on this blog that auto links anything with the # or @ to Twitter. This is super convenient. If I want to link to someone’s profile on Twitter, like @chrismessina, the “inventor” of … Continue reading
A thought hit me when Facebook rolled out the Subscribe feature. The first was that it allowed for asynchronous following relationships like on Twitter and Google+.

My quick take on the Skype/Facebook partnership is that it doesn’t sound like much, but this will be huge, especially for families. I can guarantee this will push @jenxmusic’s parents over the edge to finally join Facebook so they can talk to their grand kids. (Disclosure Microsoft is a client, we’ve done … Continue reading
After this weeks incident with Twitter “disappearing” me for a day I decided I needed to rethink how I was using Twitter and all of the other social networking and publishing tools I was using. Up until not Twitter has been the central hub for all of my social networking. … Continue reading
We’re used to users on Facebook revolting every time they make a change to anything. And recently we’ve started to see dissent towards the ecosystem changes Twitter has started to make. Usually as services move towards the mainstream they start to change in order to accommodate new, more profitable, mainstream users. … Continue reading

Social media can feel overwhelming. If not managed properly you can quickly fall into the trap of letting yourself feel like no matter how much you read or post there’s always so much more to read and post. Being a social media early adopter I’ve been on most social networks … Continue reading
Gowalla announced today the newest release of their service, aptly named “Gowalla 3.” There’s some major UI changes and they’re still focused on the “passport” functionality - aka “socially curated guidebook. rather than deals and coupons” and you can now push your checkin to Twitter and Tumblr. But what has the bloggers worked up is their Foursquare integration. Facebook … Continue reading
While working on a checkin app roundup for the newly launched Windows Phone 7 we noticed something odd. Facebook, which is a big partner for Microsoft and a key integration point on WP7 is lacking Facebook Places. The Facebook integration is centered around people and photos and honestly how many WP7 users … Continue reading
