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.

During the holidays I updated this site. I added a new theme (the free Mantra WordPress theme for those interested) and finally dug around in files to dig out a piece of code some spammers inserted that was showing bad links in the footer. Nothing malicious to anyone visiting the … Continue reading
Here it is at last. My 10 predictions for the coming year. While my big predictions post is my 5 predictions for the next 5 years, I always try to balance it out with 10 very specific prediction for the coming year. These are usually more wildly, speculatively, wishful than they … Continue reading
If you publish content (whatever that may be) about the industry you work in, I think you have an ethical obligation to disclose any potential conflicts. It is not practical to disclose conflicts of interest in every tweet, blog post, location check in and Facebook status update. You’re going to … Continue reading

As I get ready to call it a day and I reflect back on all the content I created (I’m sure I’ll have several less subscribers tomorrow), I’m struck by the importance of workflow. People think that 2 or 3 blog posts is hard. It’s really not. I didn’t create … Continue reading

It amazes me how much this space has evolved over the last 5+ years (yes, blogging has been around longer than that, but I’ve only been actively watching/participating in the space for a little over 5 years). Blogging used to be something that was only used by the geek elite. … Continue reading
