Comments on: Is Social Networking Becoming Too Personal or Not Personal Enough? http://gatheryourcrowd.com/767/is-social-networking-becoming-too-personal-or-not-personal-enough/ Social Media Strategy Consulting Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Karmen http://gatheryourcrowd.com/767/is-social-networking-becoming-too-personal-or-not-personal-enough/comment-page-1/#comment-37 Karmen Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:47:30 +0000 http://gatheryourcrowd.com/?p=767#comment-37 Great post Kent! We have to keep in mind that people use "social networks" to be social first, and if they can add the aspect of doing business in a more relaxed, conversational way, that is the benefit they gain. The level of transparency will differ from person to person, so I say: embrace it and take it all in the way it is intended to be given (shared), mostly for fun, humor and goodness of some sort. Looking forward to more! Great post Kent!

Well I look at this problem in a pretty simple way: I organise myself on social media as I do it in real life which mean I love to be personal but only with persons I love or trust (which mean they know me in my lifestyle)... On the other hand I inform others about my activities and worklife which mean: I do lists of my connections and choose if I want to be personal or not and with who. So for me social media is like reality: Their are some stuff I say in public and some others not (don't ask me what I won't tell you I don't know you :)). It as two advantages: first I learn to know other better and second I can better reach their interests (it was hard to learn but now I know that my "so intersting life" is especially interestinc for me and my friends but not especially for anyone (who knows perhaps some days:)). Have a nice week end and congratulation at gather your crowd for your presentation @ Stanford!

I only know how to be one way and that is transparent. I know I may offend people on occasion on FB, but like George Carlin use to say - change the channel. I am challenged with the fact that I FB about my business and my personal life. But, that is the new paradigm, right. The two are not as separate as they use to be. Esp. not in Silicon Valley. I take my friend Ann Evanston's advice and I am a PERSON first and a business second. Great blog! Thought provoking. I only know how to be one way and that is transparent.

In my case, I tend to block all application/game related posts, I feel annoyed by Twitter style posts with a heavy use of hashtags and names (#, @), and I complete ignore loooooong posts. On the other hand, I enjoy philosophical quotes, positive affirmations, questions from friends on topics that I'm interested in, and commenting on friends pictures.
