"Social Awareness" To Replace Social Networking | InventorSpot
this bears no relation to how people interact and is scarily inhuman. the fact ASTRA is a centralised platform doesn't improve matters but it's the lack of understanding of what social is that is staggering here.

The researchers developed their approach based on the so-called focus-nimbus model to determine what information is shared and what is received by different people in a social network. A Psych Central report states that "in this context, a person’s nimbus consists of the type, amount and detail of information they want to share with others, while their focus contains the type and amount of information they choose to receive from others, including their reaction to the person’s nimbus."
Is Social Media ruining the good old heated debate
this depends on what's more important - personal 'brand' or issues. Social media is about egos, blogging was about ideas and opinions. There I said it.

Of the three posts I think that Bob Knorpp did an excellent job of breaking down the reasons why services like Twitter, Facebook and social media related blogs are geared more to the old clap on the back “great post” type of response. It all boils down to the very way that they are structured, after all we are encouraged to follow “friends” not “people you disagree with”. At the heart of social media the idea is that we should all be striving to “get along” rather than to intelligently challenge ideas and concepts being proposed.
Epeus' epigone: How Twitter works in theory
excellent post on Twitter by Kevin Marks explaining its social, phatic nature. Also insightful is Bob Wyman's comment about recevier/sender controlled messaging. It made me think that Twitter is the first receiver controlled communication. Subcribing to blog feeds is also receiver controlled but less communication and more information managment. Mine! might take this a step further.. need to ponder more.
twopointouch | Surrender! Foucault and Twitter
something about this 'analysis' just doesn't feel right. not sure what but it would start with describing porn and puerile humour as tools of capitalism. it also confuses my actions in deselecting friends and managing my online environment with some kind of social control and devious exercise of subtle social pressures as punishment for 'transgressions'. Not so. I also get the feeling that the author's idea of social media - that is being so compromised - doesn't contain much room for individual autonomy either. The web is going the wrong way for that, but not because we all do the social thing in the open. it's the closed platforms that's taken over the web and that's worth fighting. But renaissance of socialism? I'll take to the barricades against that!!!

Zappos Blogs: CEO and COO Blog: How Twitter Can Make You A Better (and Happier) Person
nice write up about twitter, if a bit self-righteous. Maybe he's like that and my English scepticism kicks in. Describes benefits to twitter but they belong to any social web communication really. Worth a read though.

The Twitter Gold Mine & Beating Google to the Semantic Web - O'Reilly Radar
this would be a nightmare! just like 'joined-up' government. I don't want anyone mining my stuff, I'd rather do that myself, thank you very much, and share it with the world the way I feel comfortable. Keep away from my 'data/life stream'.
Richard Branson ~ Business Stripped Bare | Richard Branson’s Official Website & Blog » My 2000th Twitter follower
never understood such arrogance - sending a signed poster to someone who just adds you as contact on twitter. It's the celeb/marketers knee-jerk reaction, to reward what is essentially a social gesture. How about a normal social gesture.. but that woud be
