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.

An interesting report came out recently from Neilsen about consumers “online vs. off-line” viewing behavior. That’s such a ridiculous, false dichotomy these days. Chances are, either way, you’re watching that video via a cable provider. As you know, I am an unapologetic cord cutter. All of my video viewing is either … Continue reading
The goal of a business is to make money. No disputes there. The best way to make money is to meet a market need. Sometimes that can be by first creating the need but that’s not enough. In order to continue to meet that need you have to do a … Continue reading
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
What is television? This morning Nielson is reporting (h/t to @prgeek) that for the first time in 20 years the number of homes with television sets has dropped. From 98.9 to 96.7. That may not sound like a lot but that’s actually a really big number. Moreover I think the number … 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
Teenagers watch TV online. No big shocker right? According to a Horrowitz Associates recent study, almost all teens watch TV online at least once a month. Half watch TV on their phones monthly. This study purposely excludes online only content. Their parents and older siblings are much further behind. Almost … Continue reading
I get it. I really do. I’ve spent the last several years working with great people who are a little misguided. People who have done their marketing jobs more or less the same way for almost their whole adult lives. Sure things changed a little when that fad, the Internet, … Continue reading
FORTUNE: Techland Online TV at the tipping point Annotated I think 2008 will be a big year for internet TV. The writers strike should help independent internet only video cross the chasm. Since the networks won’t be able to do their big ‘up front’ pre-buy, the ad dollars will be … Continue reading
