Really glad to see more social enterprise companies going public.
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.

Last year I did a fun little post (fun for me at least) about the Top 10 posts from 2010. The trick was that the posts had to be written last year, so naturally the weight would be skewed towards posts written earlier in the year. I choose posts that … Continue reading
#LeWeb was a great conference. It brought together entrepreneurs, developers, businesses and marketers from all over Europe and the US. They even had a theme song to go along with the SoLoMo theme of the conference. (Warning, it will get stuck in your head.) I saw new startups and heard from established … Continue reading
In early 2010 I wrote a post about the 3 types of social media strategy. You can just bolt social media on to their existing marketing strategies, or you can optimize social media throughout your company to maximize your existing strategy or there is the elusive approach of maximizing your … Continue reading
I’ve always taken a certain level of pride in always being an enigma at any place I worked. I don’t like to be categorized or pigeon holed. Because of that, this last year presented a bit of a problem for me. I have worked very hard to establish myself as … Continue reading
One of my favorite perks of being a blogger is getting to read free copies of business books that the publishers then hope I’ll write a review on. I don’t always write reviews of the books and because I’m such a slow reader I never write them on time (close to … Continue reading
If you’re like me you’re always having to pull together presentations and training decks for a variety of reasons.

Social media is maturing, it’s becoming ubiquitous. It will mature the exact same way as every other marketing channel. Efforts will be optimized, ROI will be maximized and organizations that really embrace social media/social business will transform their industries. But all of this is going to happen at two levels. The … Continue reading
As a classic extrovert, I’ve struggled with the notion of “friend” in social media. Not because Facebook has appropriated the term to mean almost anyone you kind of know or may have met once but because my own use of the term isn’t that far off. If I meet someone, … Continue reading

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.
