You Can't Choose Your Own Nickname (or Social Media Title) - HootSuite Social Media Man... - 3 views

  •  
    "Personal branding, writing a resume, creating an advertisement all have a common theme. When trying to persuade someone, generic statements aren't enough." I take issue with "you can make your own luck," but the post has some merit in terms of the signifiers you use to describe yourself.
  •  
    Interesting. Before I got my current job, I was attempting to find one in social media. The idea of giving myself a social media title hadn't even occurred to me. Either I didn't do enough research or I accidentally avoided a digital faux pas. Either way, I already knew that it's what details and experience you can offer that represent your social media guru-ness... And not what silly title you can invent. Side note, that photo they used isn't from Halloween, it's from an anime or comic convention! I know because I'm a dork and I attend them regularly. (:

    No judging here... it's from New York Comic Con. I recognized the convention center and went to the flickr stream to verify. :D

Unintended - and Anti-Social - Consequences of Social Media Use - 0 views

  • Simultaneously, though, we must understand that Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other profit-driven companies are not neutral platforms for these conversations.
  • tech industrialists are the Rockefellers of this century, with profit, not innovation or the social good, as their primary motive
  • The lobby group FWD.us, brought to us by founders and investors of Facebook, LinkedIn and Spotify, among others, famously supported the Keystone XL oil pipeline with millions in pro-pipeline advertising
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Peers.org, an initiative launched by "sharing economy" companies like the home-subletting site Airbnb, have resisted government regulation, even as disability advocates fear services like the "rideshare" service Uber are increasing inequality between people with and without disabilities
  • they're doing everything they can to avoid paying taxes
  • gentrification
  • San Francisco has lost at least 40 percent of its black population since 1990, more than any other major city
  • But the fact is tech companies continue the practices of devaluation of racialized and feminized labor on a global scale
  • There are no easy answers
  • Another answer is for tech workers to, in tech lingo, disrupt the industry's exploitation by developing alternative tools for connecting us all. Firefox, LibreOffice, PirateBay, Wikipedia and WordPress are all widely used technology-based tools created by organizations that don't count profit as their foremost objective.
  • More important, we can organize with and support the media and activists that already are doing this work, like the Bay Area's POOR Magazine

    A more nuanced approach to the social media is anti-social argument

      I see this line of text from 'As We May think' (Vannevar Bush, pg 3) and I think, Google Glass! Well, a primitive version but quite Visionary. #emac6300

      "On a pair of ordinary glasses is a square of fine lines near the top of one lens, where it is out of the way of ordinary vision. When an object appears in that square, it is lined up for its picture."
  •  
    Remi, I completely agree with you. Then as soon as I read your comment I came across this article. The way they describe Facebook for Google Glass sounds much like that line from the reading. http://blog.hootsuite.com/wearable-tech-series/
  •  
    Katie, thanks. That was an insightful post. I never thought much about the Google Glass medium being essentially visual. Text heavy media sites may have to adjust accordingly. This line from the article addressed it. "Google Glass is primarily a visual medium. It is a device reliant on visuals, gestures, and voice. For this reason, text-focused social media does not complement Glass. Do not expect to read long drawn out blog posts, or a constant barrage of tweets. Even so, text has its place-mainly to augment the visuals."

    I have been fascinated with Complexity Theory and Complex Systems Science for some time now. The chemist Ilya Prigogine , a Nobel Laureate, is credited with pioneering research into this discipline and in 1971, based on his research, he applied his theories to vehicular traffic flow in his book Kinetic Theory of Vehicular Traffic .
