Social Media Boundaries | Spin Sucks - 4 views

  • But it’s less to promote the company and more to engage with people I don’t know in a place that feels safe to me.
  • I love Twitter and the relationships I’m able to develop using that tool.
    • John Fenn
       
      In thinking about this post and the boundaries at play, I'm wondering about this: what's the diff between FB and Twitter, esp. in this case? Why talk to anyone via one platform, but a restricted group on another?
    • Jonathan Lederman
       
      Some days I don't feel like leaving messages in the (potential) digital panopticon of communication. I write something with a hashtag and I have no idea who reads it. Or who takes a screenshot and saves it forever. We could even try and figure out the data structures, models, and infrastructure Facebook develops for targeting advertising based on gender, age, birthday, education, relationship status and other information collected over the course of your 'timeline'. At any rate, her point is that she uses different virtual social networks based on notions of different physical social networks, because those things are supposed to private and separated online as well, right? Some days I do abide. On those days, I try to be much more mindful of what I write.

    In the offline world, we all have different personas for different situations. Say the differences between how we interact or represent ourselves at work, with friends, with lovers, with children, with strangers, etc. Are we simply transposing or correlating these personal differences to online social spaces as if they still equally apply? It seems natural that we would be concerned with privacy, surveillance, or safety, but if it just a matter of establishing certain social boundaries, should they really be defined the same in a digital environment as they are in the offline world? If so, why?

Felting: Crossing Media Boundaries - Articles - Fiber Art Now Resource | Cont... - 0 views

  • Here’s the thing. Nina has been working in fiber arts for many years. Felting is her passion, but she is also an accomplished weaver and quilter. Her years of experience and knowledge make her bravely go where I had never been before. After I saw the results of some of these kinds of (initially shocking) statements, my creative path opened up to a clearing in the woods. Aaah, I see...So THIS is “crossing boundaries” of fiber arts media!
  • hubris takes another step, because as soon as she creates these felted pieces, she is willing to cut them up again and create wearable art from them

    Where's the boundary preventing you from accessing this website? The pseudo-top level domain hosted in the Tor network prevents determining geographical location. Yet that's not the only boundary. The point of access to this site could reside on a router, computer, or an individual instance of an internet browser.

Social Media Boundaries for the Artist and Fan - 3 views

  • have run into many issues with social media in the music business and it also has affected my life personally because of it I have noticed that some of the social interactions found on these networks can cause real harm in the lives of artists, affecting their personal relationships.
  • Many people believe an artist has to keep his personal life private if married or involved with another person, in order to keep the mystery out there.
  • These are the circumstances in which an artist allows inappropriate conduct via social media. The things that would not be tolerated in every day, real life.

Digital Media And Boundaries - 1 views

  • Before beginning I think it is important to note that I am not against social media; I have a facebook, twitter, and a very inactive myspace (I can’t figure out how to delete!). I am an avid status writer, photo poster, and occasional procrastinator who thinks it may be time to rethink my social engagement
    • John Fenn
       
      what kinds of "boundaries" are embedded in this paragraph? around "social", modes, portals, platforms?
  • There seems to be nothing I want to know and feel privy to that isn’t already broadcasted over the internet. In my case this over-divulging of information is equally true.
  • The same is true for any physical relationship yet in the digital world there is no buffer. Where I can tell my friend in person how far I am want a conversation to go, online activity is done with only one person in mind: the sender.
    • John Fenn

  • However, online parting physically can be replaced with keeping tabs on people digitally. This behavior in particular can feed energy into thought life, behavior, and speech that needs to altogether be moved past.

      "boundaries" extending across physical/electronic spaces...thoughts here?
  •  
    There is no question that we should all evaluate our social interactions online, but it is interesting that we now have to reconsider how to censor ourselves and our "friends" in online environments as if those digital messages represented the same type of interaction as if we were face-to-face. We have given this type of communication the same status, but are they really? Or do we need to develop a different sort of etiquette?

Media Boundaries/parenting post - 2 views

  • We've known for quite a while how the different forms of media (radio, TV, magazines, etc) can influence our lives.

Why Can't We Be Friends? Social Media Boundaries Between Teachers and Students | NEA Today - 2 views

  • The key is finding a way to take advantage of the learning opportunities social media provides while striking the proper balance between protecting kids and preserving professional boundaries and First Amendment rights.
  • “teachers should not post things that are private and confidential about a student.”
    • John Fenn
       
      common sense? legal/ethical boundaries?
    • Jonathan Lederman
       
      may not be common sense if an individual doesn't realize their message is public. For example, if I think i'm sending a private message on Facebook to an individual who legally/ethically should be the recipient, and it ends up on their public wall, that may be a misunderstanding of how Facebook works. The message composer understands that the message is supposed to be private (whether it be by common sense or professional training), but doesn't understand how the communicative transmission works ... 
  • Kids don’t need to see my backyard, or know what I say to my wife over dinner. When I have fun with friends and family, that’s a different me, and it’s important that I make that distinction,” he explains. “Being a professional means that I project the values of my profession and my employer when communicating with students.”
    • Jonathan Lederman
       
      everyone uses social differently. some individuals may not post this type of information. others may post it and don't mind who reads it. others could feel that their facebook profile has a specific type of information on it that should only be available to certain people.  Even if this individual is a professional that projects the values of the profession and employer when communicating with students, that doesn't mean that the individual cannot post such communications on a (semi)public forum like a Facebook page.

  •  
    As our networks expand, our profiles get more public, and our work requires a human face, where do we draw the line between personal and professional identities online? How do we maintain those boundaries for our community members? How do we respond to attacks, opportunities, and over-shares online? When does over-sharing hurt the community? When should you share your own personal stories as a manager, or personally reach out to community members? Growing and cultivating an active community also requires that the community manager walk the fine line of personal and professional sharing. Every community manager wonders when and how to professionally cultivate leaders and members to create a thriving community while still being personal. On the reverse side, sometimes community members share too much, which can hurt the health of the community. This panel will address these questions and more from experience in nonprofit and public media sectors.

    From the website:  "LibraryMixer is a free website where lovers of music, movies, TV shows, games, software, books, pictures can list what they have in their libraries. You share your library list with your friends and recommend stuff you like that they can get directly from you. You don't need to upload anything onto LibraryMixer! The best way to learn more about LibraryMixer (besides using it!) is to watch the introduction video or read the text version. https://www.librarymixer.com/info/faq"

    I linked to the Reddit page because it has the beta key. The official website is http://www.librarymixer.com
  •  
    In prowling around the site, I'm running up against questions such as "what constitutes 'social' in the current media environment" or "what is 'sharing' all about today?". These are not so much questions of moral import, but more of practice and the "boundaries" around doing things: listening, talking about, exchanging, debating, etc. What does an experiment like LibraryMixer push us to think about here? How's it different from other options (legal or not)? Also, this is an Open Source effort: what are the relationships between "open source" and "social" in regards to media boundaries?

    (I haven't been able to use the program for more than half an hour so far ... a lot of this will probably end up moderately incorrect.) Rather than ripping off music from anonymous users on sketchy p2p networks, or grabbing thousands of fragments from hundreds of nodes to synthesize a final piece of content, LibraryMixer combined with the Mixologist allows for personal interaction and communication about an item. The program and website integrates an instant messenger with a check-out system. The check-out system allows individuals to browse the general library, and select things they have, they want, or that they can review. Based on this information, users communicate with others via the friends list and instant messenger. From here, individuals directly connect with one another to transfer, or 'lend', the desired items. Physical items can be posted on the website too, but they require different methods for loaning items. I don't see any way to determine whether an individual rightfully owns a file they loan to others. I'm also not sure about if the file is copied to the transferee's machine and remains on the original, or is removed from the original machine in the process. However, there must be a direct connection made between the content owner (in whatever sense of the word 'ownership' we mean) and the individual loanee. This direct connection also ensures more privacy during a file transfer than p2p networks and bittorrent. (Unless you don't know the person. This is also exactly how trojan viruses and backdoors would be installed through AIM.) I think a good example of 'open source' in relation to 'social' would be the sheer amount of activity on discussion boards like http://ubuntuforums.org/. The lessons learned in this type of place regarding collaborative problem solving are not only abundant, but also applicable to tasks like coordinating large-scale real-world events

    I've used the website a bit further. It seems that the community infrastructure is there for a helpful, friendly, personal community. This is entirely unlike anonymous discussion boards where people love to put on the ring of Gyges and succumb to ... well, I don't have any friends on the website yet so I can't really tell. Again, seems like solid community infrastructure in comparison to a site like bt.etree.org or demonoid.

    How many boundaries is this guy breaking? I wonder if that poncho is considered unauthorized use of copyrighted property from any other film, song, or composition from Star Wars. Perhaps it is included in the Star Wars universe fan fiction production kit containing action figures and audio clips.

The Couch » Media Boundaries and Kids » The Couch - 0 views

  • Electronics were created to make life easier. Instead, they’ve become time-consuming beasts gobbling up any extra moment in our day. Since unplugging, the kids are doing even better in school. Books are seen in the hands of my kids now, and their test scores are soaring. Have I mentioned the greatest advantage? Our home is a sanctuary from the storms of the world. Peace reigns once again.

    As the matriarch of our home it wasn't long before I realized I was plugged in a lot, and when I looked around, it was clear I had little constraint with plugged in things. We were battling a fire-spitting media-dragon-our television. When I stopped to think about it, there were days I gave more of my undivided attention to it than any of my four children combined. It was my daily drug of choice, taking me to far-away places, allowing me to peek inside homes I prayed were more dysfunctional than ours, and taught me more about great white sharks than I cared to admit. Yes, I loved my TV. I couldn't imagine living without it.
