NO, I've not drunk even a single cup of coffee in my life (Okay, maybe 2 cups so far in 17 years). I'm thinking of starting! - Yuvi

Addicted to both (but for some reason zero alcohol). Cigarettes have to go. Coffee probably never will. Yuvi - If you MUST be addicted to something ... stop at coffee and be sure and get the 'good stuff' :) - Charlie Anzman

Is Social Media Useful or just Ego-Boost?

Ego-boost. - Robert Scoble

Can it be a useful ego boost? - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Show 30 more comments

Ego boost and echo chamber apparently. - Soulhuntre via twhirl

Useful. I learn something new and 'meet' new people everyday! :) - Mona N.

Stupid: of course. I learned what you all thought about Hillary's speech tonight. - Robert Scoble

A mix, sometimes I learn, sometimes I stroke my immense ego. Sometimes the latter blocks the former. - Mo Kargas

Both. Social Media is just a medium, in the same way that blogging or RSS is a medium. It's how we communicate and engage to find new information and people. It's not the medium, it's the message. - Louis Gray

Mona: you WOULD say that. After all, we all met you here. And fell in love with your "Likes." Proves it's an ego boost. :-) - Robert Scoble

I don't think you're really going to see people who use it as an ego-boost admit that it's an ego boost. - Mark Trapp

Those who pooh-pooh "social media" today remind me of those who dissed the early Web in 1994. And believe me, I fought lots of non-believers at that time. "The Web is just a frivolous distraction," was the main point of those who did not see the tsunami coming. The Social Web is as big a wave. - John McCrea

Well I think it's what you make of it. It can be both useful and an ego-boost. Linkedin has been very useful for me too, in terms of getting work, without too much effort on my part either. - jjprojects

John, she doesn't pooh-pooh social media in the article, but the culture surrounding it. It's a demented social hierarchy that props up things that feed people's egos over really useful social media tools. - Mark Trapp

Mark. Sorry, my comment was not specifically directed at her, but rather at the provocative question in the title. - John McCrea

RTFA. :D - Cyndy

This reminded me of Alexander Van Elsa's post.. how do you monetize off of all that data: http://vanelsas.wordpress.com/... - but the fact of the matter is, businesses are just looking for whatever service will get them the most views. In the end, it's all about the traffic. The difference is social sites can later (hopefully) be targeted for core audiences of a product and/or service. - Tim Hoeck

Robert: I share things I like and am excited about and FriendFeed is one of the rare places I interact with those that have the same broad interests as me. I love the conversations and exchange of information. It has nothing to do with 'ego', Robert. If I wanted my ego boosted, I would be barhopping and clubbing. :) - Mona N.

ego boost for now, but I've got a plan to make it very valuable, and I can't be the only one. - Jason Carreira

Mona: I thought this WAS the adult equivilent of barhopping and clubbing! More fun, less rejection and no hangover! :-) - Robert Scoble

I tend to find it ego crushing, personally. - Brian Norwood

Brian: I just subscribed to you. How's your ego now? - Robert Scoble

Oh come on Brian. - Kyle Lacy

Ego boost until the buzz-words vanish. First to drop should be the "social" precursor to media. - Andy Angelos

Robert: I'm female, single, and live in San Francisco, where - mind you - the ratio of males to females is almost unfair... Rejection almost never happens, if you fit in any of those categories ;) - Mona N.

Think of it like high school. Let's see who's successful in 10 years :) - Charlie Anzman

I'm aging, married, male, live near San Francisco, so you can see my different worldview. :-) - Robert Scoble

both. useful and ego-boost. bottomline: just like most things in life, it's how you intend to use it. - ~C4Chaos

@Robert I don't know about you, but there has been a number of times I wake up in the morning with a FF hangover. - Tim Hoeck

Hah, Charlie: I like that. Who's going to marry the Facebook cheerleader? - Mark Trapp

HA! Hence, the ego-boost factor. To each their own, but don't make judgments or assumptions about me, please ;) - Mona N.

If I was Mona's age again ... I'd WOULD be barhoppin' and clubbing (not dukin' it out with Robert :) - Charlie Anzman

Charlie, I am secure with myself and who I am. I haven't required an ego boost since I was in middle school. :) - Mona N.

ego-help - adolfo foronda

Useful AND Ego-Boost? - Igor Poltavskiy

Robert: Let's see if I can stay interesting. Then my ego will be ok. - Brian Norwood

Generally looks fine. I think the key is to get grounding in all the basics, so would want to make sure that there is reasonable emphasis on writing skills. I like that it is clearly multi-media/interdisciplinary. That said, I think the world of media and news will evolve so radically in the coming years that I have doubts about whether any curriculum could meet the very high bar of "prepare him for a long time career"... - John McCrea

Just wondering.. How does YouTube caches the title frame of video.. The frame that I see above has Leah lying but actually that frame comes almost at the end in the video.. (still looks like, somehow YouTube detects if that is put as title frame, more views will be received!) is there any secret algorithm being used.. or I am just dumb and making up things in my mind! - Jigar Mehta

Jigar: It is automatically generated. I believe it is the frame that is exactly at the middle of the clip. - John McCrea

Wow... I just missed that thing.. I think Mahalo already knows that and have put that frame intentionally in the middle to control that!! - Jigar Mehta

That does not seem like a strong booster rocket in what will turn out to be a remarkably close race. Hmmmmm. - John McCrea

should have gone for fresh, really pushed the envelope, now it is back to business as usual .. - Gregory Lent

from the list of people that was being thrown out there....almost all were business as usual...the republican that was in the mix just seemed gimmicky....and being a kansan it would have been way too cool for him to have chosen Sebilius. - Grizzled Librarian

Biden is 66. Thats a minus. He has been around seen things. This is minus as well - too biased. He voted for Iraq war. This is minus. Most of everything else is plus. He is strong in debating, chaired SFRC and is a good complement to Obama, for sileding off from Republicans. - Hayk Hakobyan

List of people who voted against Iraq war....very short list. - Grizzled Librarian

Actually, Biden's age is a plus. It's probably impossible to win the vote without getting a good percentage of older voters. And older voters tend to vote for one of their own. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Having been around is a minus? Obama is relatively new to Washington, so he needs someone who's been there and knows how things get done through back channels. Not having enough experienced Washington people around is the problem that left Carter's administration ineffective. - Jason Carreira

I'll bet Biden is busy looking up a whole bunch of speeches to copy. - Dave Roth

@Alex, the fact that Biden was a blue collar himself and has more appeal to elder voters is a fact. But still I believe Obama could have picked up someone with experience but younger. Now the McCain campaign makes fun of the age and experience gap. This age and exp gap might also yield problems in future when people will come to doubt who is actually wielding the power. - Hayk Hakobyan

@Jason, IMO in this particular case being around is a minus because what America needed was not more of the same old with some new, fresh flavor, but a completely different, unbiased approach. Is not this what Obama has been pitching about, a drastic change, THE change? IS not this what he implied? I do agree that Biden complements Obama, but he could have chosen someone else with similar experience from outside of the Capitol. - Hayk Hakobyan

Candace, good job! I, too, called hoax from the beginning, but where I was wrong was that I thought it was a hoax as part of grand PR strategy from some Silicon Valley company. So sad to find it was not an elaborate ploy of smart people, but rather a clumsy redneck hoax that was so poorly executed as to be embarrassing. - John McCrea
