Online Social Optimization

I’ll be presenting a series of videos designed to explore what I and the others who initiated the Public Individual Mastermind Group have developed since the publication of The Art of Memetics in 2008. Suffice it to say, these videos go beyond what I initially released at the start of Public Individual, and reflect two years of study. The core of this mastermind group was the use of the Public Individual Identity Tracker, available at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pilPmRnL3UZr8_o0bvCimcA&output=html

On this spreadsheet we’ve listed a number of URL’s you’ll find useful. Bear in mind that the internet presence you are constructing is a confluence of multiple third-party sites working in tandem, and that these individual sites all have their own developmental arc. Redundancy across social networks will help you maintain a coherent presence even in the face of sites falling apart (like Ma.Gnol.Ia’s massive server fail), or being purchased and subsumed into other sites (Delicious being integrated into Yahoo, Feedburner’s integration into Google.) It is because of this very process that I rely on the public spreadsheet function Google provides through Google Documents, so that as new services arise or old services fail I can update the spreadsheet once and keep this core document up-to-date.

PR Communications: Balancing Content With Engagement To Create Harmony

Build relationships with community members by contributing and supporting the community. When you conduct outreach don't just spend time on your own stuff. This outreach portion is where organizations have a tough time understanding the value. Really it’s about building relationships with people.Content creation is not just about good writing, but really when it involves engagement, good content is focused on being a great conversationalist.

Zeynep Tufekci.. Can You See Me Now? Audience and Disclosure Regulation in Online Social Network Sites

The prevailing paradigm in Internet privacy literature, treating privacy within a context merely of rights and violations, is inadequate for studying the Internet as a social realm. Following Goffman on self-presentation and Altman’s theorizing of privacy as an optimization between competing pressures for disclosure and withdrawal, the author investigates the mechanisms used by a sample (n = 704) of college students, the vast majority users of Facebook and Myspace, to negotiate boundaries between public and private. Findings show little to no relationship between online privacy concerns and information disclosure on online social network sites. Students manage unwanted audience concerns by adjusting profile visibility and using nicknames but not by restricting the information within the profile. Mechanisms analogous to boundary regulation in physical space, such as walls, locks, and doors, are favored; little adaptation is made to the Internet’s key features of persistence, searchability, and cross-indexability. The author also finds significant racial and gender differences.
