Social media: the side effects — Presentation Transcript

Social media is cocaine for the connected

SIDE EFFECTS

Side Effect #1: May steal attention!

When it comes to content, objective #1 should be to retain, not repeat.

“Having a Twitter stream at a conference is like having a dinner party and leaving the TV on” - I forgot (It could have been @craigrodney, but really, who cares? I’m awesome!)

Side Effect #2: May cause excessive loudness!

727 followers

Using Twitter for chit- chat is like having a conversation via megaphone i.e. it sucks ass

Side Effect #3: May kill conversation!

140 characters do not a conversation make!

Side Effect #4: May lead us to over-estimate the importance of ‘The Now”!

Swine Flu

We need to stop over- estimating the importance of now - the best stories take time to unfold

Side Effect #5: Could cause elevated (sense of) self- importance!

Follow me!

Twitter is not a social network, it’s an information sharing tool. Act accordingly.

Side Effect #6: Could make you believe that people actually care!

Set brain to “ignore”

Side Effect #7: Privacy (it’s gone)

Network agnostic social score Like! Dislike!
