Does Twitter ‘cheapen’ your friendships?

by Jye on May 21, 2009 with 14 Comments

Social media is a fantastic way to communicate value, expertise and or passion to numerous amounts of people. It is also a great to way to keep relevant people up to date with what you're doing with your day, week or next client.  But what about the more meaningful stuff? What about the awesome fun stuff you're doing with close friends? I notice a lot of people like inform their weak ties about the activities they're doing with their BFFs. This can lead to BFFs thinking you don't really enjoy their company quite as much, and your weak ties thinking your ...

Twitter.xxx

by Jye on Apr 15, 2009 with 4 Comments

I'm young and curious. And somehow found myself a selection of peculiar Twitter accounts. What's interesting is that most of these accounts started in 2007, and have very few followers, and generally fewer tweets.  So whether you think Twitter is Great or you're on team 'Fuck Twitter' - it's definitely the topic of conversation. There was one, however, that stuck out, and is still active. But I am giving you full warning now: it's hardcore.  Like NSFW hardcore. http://twitter.com/fuck "Twittering my life as a sex addict." NSFW: Active, 106 followers, 41 updates. Tweets only from 2009. I suspect account open for longer. Hey ...

Twitter Ettiquette: The Definition of Awkward IRL (Guest Post)

by Jye on Mar 26, 2009 with 6 Comments

Guest post by anonymous. You'll see why. The definition of awkward: socially uncomfortable; unsure and constrained in manner; hard to deal with; especially causing pain or embarrassment; meeting somebody IRL and realising that you stopped following them on Twitter because they bored the tits off you. Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of meeting several members of my Twitter crew in person for the first time at ad:tech. Given the personal nature of my tweets, this had the potential to be humiliating, but I found my followers to be as appealing IRL as they are online. Well, the ones I follow ...

Social Networks and Time: Some Visual Thoughts

by Jye on Mar 25, 2009 with No Comments

I've been doing some visual thinking around the way that social networks and, in particular, the people who make them up and the content they produce, affects the amount of time we allow to each person (or singular piece of information) in that network. Facebook moving to its new layout was a significant indicator of this relationship. As the popularity of social media and networks increases the amount of people on our individual networks also increases. Driven by the power of weak ties, we're compelled to connect with more and more people from the different circles of our lives. Facebook - which ...

ad:tech 2009: Twitter

by Jye on Mar 11, 2009 with 10 Comments

Like all social media, new technologies and innovations have allowed people to connect online in new ways. Over the two days at ad:tech 2009 in Sydney I said Twitter more times than I said fuck. Which is rare.  But seriously, it was the topic on everyone's mind, and at everyone's finger tips.  I was lucky enough to be invited to open and moderate the final session of day 1, dedicated to the topic: The Relevance of Twitter. I was joined by Gavin Heaton, Mike Hickinbotham and Laurel Papworth. We received great feedback about our interactive panel. Transcript below. The Relevance Of Twitter ...

Twitter rant, /rant

by Jye on Mar 05, 2009 with 3 Comments

Michelle baited me with some Twitter skepticism over at ARN. And as Katie would put it: I got a little shouty.  Reflecting  back, I don't really mind -- the 600 people below and I seem to have some brilliant conversation and share some amazing stories (and you too can get your twitter mosaic). People, conversations, community and network. All in 140 characters. Oh, and you - that's not so frightening is it? The Kevin Rudds, Obamas etc belong to one of many communities on Twitter. There are many, many other influential communities across design, IT, PR, Marketing, Futurism even hairdressing. Story Tellers and ...
