Reflections on Facebook and Twitter

Voyeurism made legal

Exhibitionism made normal

Narcissism indulged

Privacy be damned!

Instant Feedback

Substitute Analysts Couch

Diaries made public

Outlet for one’s inner graffiti artist

P.S. It's hard to believe how social media has become such a big part of our lives.

And changed our views on privacy, anonymity, exhibitionism, narcissism, and more.

Who am I to complain when most of you readers sashay your way to my blog from Facebook (after updating your status, checking out everyone else's, posting some pictures, adding some "Likes", and friending and de-friending people who have pleased or pissed you off, of course!).

By the way, if you are charged with formulating and executing social media policies at the company or organization where you work, you could shamelessly steal from Kodak, Intel or IBM, because they are considered the current champs when it comes to steering the social media scene.

But shhh...don't tell them I told you to do that. Otherwise they may sue me.  Or God forbid, defriend me!

Here's where you can read Kodak’s Social Media Tips.

Or Intel’s Social Media Guidelines.

Or IBM’s Social Computing (how quaint!!!!) Guidelines.

Meanwhile for those new to the social media scene, here's the Emily Post, the Miss Manners on social media etiquette. (you may want to follow these rules even if I ain't!!).

As always thanks for sashaying your way to my blog in spite of all the fun stuff right there on Facebook and Twitter.

And P.S. sorry for focusing exclusively on Facebook and Twitter, when there's MySpace, Linked in, Formspring, Ning, Tagged, Friendster, Pinterest and more.  Just keeping it simple!
