I wasn’t at your discussion, so I can only comment on the Tweets.

I think that we shouldn’t try to define how people should or shouldn’t use blogs. They are tools of communicating, and different people relate to the world in different ways.

I think there are times to be personal. The difference, for me, between new media and traditional media is that the new media opens communication so that it isn’t an abstract person lecturing to other people. New Media and social media open up communication between the writer and the reader, therefore allowing a more personal interaction.

I didn’t have narcissism in mind, per se, but I am convinced that there are many subjects that deserve more attention than thinking about ones self. We should guard against becoming self focused, don’t you think?

I then read a great post from Chris at SocialTNT pushing that idea further. Last night after a very long day I got in the car and was catching up on some Utterz posts. Chris [...]

I use it to solidify my thoughts and to find stuff later ala Google. I can
tell you how many times it has saved my bacon.

Great post for a Friday, and fun.

@Todd Thank you! I really loved your Twittercast of the event; watching it roll by all afternoon and evening just filled my head with so many great ideas. Thanks all at #SMCB!

Your cast plus @kflaherty ‘s Blog as Art post plus the AMAZING talking sock video inspired me to create a more abstract, fun blog post. :)

To clarify for folks who weren’t at SNCR or last nights SMC Boston event (www.socialmediaboston.org), the quote (“The focus on personal branding has resulted in the cult of personality and egomaniacal tendencies – me too, me first, just plain ME!”) wasn’t from me, but rather was a suggested topic for discussion and argument at the evening’s Social Media Club event. (I think Jim Spencer of jbspartners.com fessed up as the person who suggested it as a topic to debate, and it was a big hit!)

Congrats on YOUR big hit this week, Mr. Facebook!
