so the behaviour is not changing but the nature of medium is - it is going from ephemeral to (semi) permament

This is just like complaining because the people at work are talking about you in the corridor without your consent.

Really glad to hear your health is improving - would hate to lose you :)

Nothing like an illness to put other things into perspective.

Your post reminds of me the Roman custom during triumphs - the man being celebrated would have a slave up behind him on the chariot continuously saying "memento homo" or "remember you are mortal". Perhaps we need the modern social media equivalent? Hubris is worth guarding against! (OK so I'm mixing Greek & Roman ideas, but it makes sense ;)

I don't want to mingle my FB & FF contacts - they are separate for a reason.

Chris - really good explanation of the difference between old, new, and social media. Especially that social media requires social participation. Very insightful.

Think you're on the right track here, the 'so what' factor re this new service is almost non-existent.

Also the switching cost (in effort) is high for email addresses, so you might as well stay where you are.

BTW some anecdotal info about email and under-30's here at http://carruthk.blogspot.com/2008/06/un-email-g...

You've raised an interesting issue about competition and how the competitive landscape is changing now. Sounds like we're seeing cooperation/competition become tactical plays depending on the situation. In the past, really the only option seen as viable was competition.

Re: Hey Scoble — you’re killing Twitter

I've said it before - if you build an application and then open it up the global masses you've got to plan for success. Twitter is a classic case study in unanticipated success. Most sites would be glad to have Scoble & Laporte as active users. Twitter needs to work out how to scale & do it fast. It has created a devoted and active user community that is worth supporting.

Hey Dave - always interesting to see your analyses. Not sure what it all means, but it probably means something. We'll have to think about it, or perhaps just tweet about it.

Re: Lacy and Mark Z: Train wreck or lynch mob?

carruthk — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 03:29:32 -0000

I did watch the whole video & it seemed to me that Lacy misjudged much of her humour & her attempts at building rapport did not work as planned. Given the high standards of the overall event I can see why the audience might have gone a little nuts. Also the fact that audiences can now share real time feelings with entire world shows that things have changed a little for presenters. If their gut says they don't like you there is no time for rationalisation - the tweets just go off into cyberspace (it is almost like the id is being set free).
