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.
Be sure to read all of @katlen’s Social Media Daily Reflection posts I’ve been working in the digital marketing industry for several years now and I cringe on those occasions when someone introduces me as an expert. I know it’s intended to be a compliment — but ever since I started my digital … Continue reading →
I’m not really a structure or process person. If you know me this shouldn’t surprise you at all. It is ironic though because I’m often called on to recreate team structure or a new process. Some people love process and I’m really glad those people exist. One thing that everyone complains … Continue reading →
This post was posted as a guest post on Brass Tack Thinking. I have always been fascinated by some people’s need to make rules. I’ve recently moved my family me to London, England for the next two years and I’ve learned that the Brits are famous for this. The British … 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 →
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 →
I’ve recently posted about the value of getting out and networking but I just had another great experience that may not seem so obvious at first. I’ve been in Boise saying my goodbye’s to family and friends and in general enjoying the wonderful Boise weather. My favorite thing about Boise, … Continue reading →
The Flip cam was a great device – a year and a half ago. I’ve shot some of my most successful client videos on a Flip. I still use my Flip, in fact it’s what I use to shoot the video posts on this blog. Today Cisco killed their video … Continue reading →
You’re restless. You get frustrated that things don’t go faster. You don’t understand why your company moves so slow. I know because I have these same thoughts. I had these same thoughts even when it was my own company. Creative energy is a great thing. It fuels innovation. In excess … Continue reading →
Please bear with me while I uncharacteristically talk about sports. I promise I won’t do it again for a while. My love of Boise State football is perplexing to most people that know me. Sure on paper it makes sense. I’m from Boise and am a two time BSU alumni, receiving both … Continue reading →
I’ve mentioned the book I’ve been working on. I’ve actually made considerable headway on the weekends (except I can’t come up with a good title to save my life) and thought I’d share my current working summary. I’d love to hear your feedback. I am looking for examples where social … Continue reading →
