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)Facebook isn’t for friends, it’s for families. Facebook just released the most shared articles on Facebook in 2011. It’s interesting to look into the collective consciousness of 800 Million people.

News last night that #Osama Bin Laden #obl was killed broke on Twitter. There’s a lot of emotions out there for very good reason. It’s been interesting watching everyone’s reactions.

I’ve been a very outspoken critic of hyperlocal journalism as a scalable business model. One of my top 10 predictions for 2010 was that hyperlocal journalism wouldn’t catch on. In 2009 I even went as far as comparing the quest for the hyperlocal journalism business model to cold fusion. Sure … Continue reading
For years we’ve known that a key driver of search was news coverage. This was great validation for PR professionals. It proved what they always knew, that people read news and then want to find out more. Then social media came along and we could actually “see” word of mouth … Continue reading

Just a little thinking out loud this morning. What is tech? Maybe a better question would be what isn’t tech? This is a problem I struggled with for years when I started and ran the site TechBoise. It was fairly easy to deal with then because I let the companies … Continue reading
