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.

Netflix is pulling out all the stops. After getting their assets handed to them by dissatisfied customers and having to pull a whiplash-quick about face on their plans to separate the streaming business from their rental business they’re doing everything they can to reverse the bleeding. First they’re aggressively moving into international expansion and … Continue reading
Netflix got their assets handed to them this last year. I love Netflix. I was very sad that I had to cancel my subscription when I moved over. I wasn’t mad about the pricing change and while I didn’t like the name, I thought the Qwikster strategy was a good one … Continue reading
Today’s guest post is brought to you by my super smart friend, colleague and PacNW music blogger @mattwhiting. Whether you’re OK with their recent business decisions or not, there’s no denying that Netflix has made some unorthodox business decisions in the past few months. Not too long ago, I read a great blog post … Continue reading
Four years ago I attended the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. This was 2007 and the Web 2.0 Summit hadn’t quite yet reached the critical mass that it would even a year later. If memory serves me right, it was a relatively intimate affair and there was lots of great … Continue reading
When it comes to media there are two things I have never paid for because it never seemed like it was worth the money: A newspaper subscription and cable TV. I recently learned that I’m what you call a “cord cutter.” No I don’t run around cutting cords but I’m … Continue reading
Is there anything we are more passionate about than friends and family? I doubt it. Netfix is learning that right now. They recently killed the little used, but obviously much loved (for those who used it) Friends feature. This was a social feature on Netflix that allowed users to add … Continue reading
Today is my daughters 11th birthday. Happy birthday Emma. I love you. I marvel at the generational technology changes that are happening. When I was 11 my media consumption consisted of comic books and Saturday morning cartoons. I rarely ever used the phone. Today Emma has a Palm Centro, her … Continue reading
Layoffs help the Internet economy Why are Facebook and Twitter exploding right now? Two reasons: They’re really cool and everyone, especially the media, can’t get enough of them.

I’ll blog more in detail on some expanded thoughts but I thought I would give some quick highlights from the first day: Tabblo: I haven’t heard Antonio Rodriguez, the founder of Tabblo speak before (Tabblo was acquired by HP six months ago). I was much more impressed with his product … Continue reading
