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.

When I logged onto Twitter this morning I found a new little feature called recent images. It instantly reminds me of Facebook’s newest implementation of profile pictures or the similar layout that Google+ has. I think this is a good feature for Twitter to implement. People love pictures and they love sharing … Continue reading
Is this the first Google+ post on Techmeme? [Update: No that wasn't the first Google+ post on Techmeme but the first one was actually by Tom Anderson and it was about Mark Zuckerberg's response to Google+ when asked at the Facebook/Skype announcement.] As I do every morning I check Techmeme to see what’s up … Continue reading
After this weeks incident with Twitter “disappearing” me for a day I decided I needed to rethink how I was using Twitter and all of the other social networking and publishing tools I was using. Up until not Twitter has been the central hub for all of my social networking. … Continue reading
Yesterday, I disappeared. It was the strangest feeling. Slowly, little by little my friends couldn’t see me. If they didn’t look directly at me they could still kind of see me but eventually I faded out until they just couldn’t see me anymore. I was gone, just like that. It … Continue reading
Twitter has always acted buggy for me. I don’t always see all my replies. I sometimes don’t even see all of my own tweets. I’ve only recently been able to access and manage my Twitter lists. Twitter even sometimes unfollows me from people. I know Twitter is doing a lot of … Continue reading
China and the US are in a relationship and let’s just say, it’s complicated. I’m not an economist by any stretch of the imagination but I know a thing or two about changes in technology and human behavior and what that means to business models. It’s kind of what I … Continue reading
I had the wonderful opportunity to speak on the Social in the Enterprise panel at Social Media 301 #SM301. It was a really good panel (if I do say so myself) and the best part is that I’ve got to speak with @lizasperling (who works at @seesmic), @themaria (who works … Continue reading
With all the news about buttons I thought it was time to do another 10 Links post. Buttons (as well as stickers and patches) have been a core marketing tool for decades, possibly centuries. Political buttons are one of the most well known early implementation of button marketing. When I owned the … Continue reading
When Twitter first started to take off about 4 years ago or so, the spammers showed up like they do on any network. But most people weren’t concerned. “I only see tweets from people I follow so it doesn’t matter.” But that’s not totally true, you see tweets from people … Continue reading
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. Everyone remembers where they were on 9/11. It was one of those generational defining moments. On 9/11/2009 I wrote about my thoughts … Continue reading
