I have two Facebook accounts, one is personal and the other is business. I know you can set up groups to keep things separate, but I neither trust Facebook or myself to set things up in such a way that I never have to worry about the two groups clashing.<\/p>\n
Much simpler to set up two accounts.<\/p>\n
My business feed is mostly about ranking websites in Google and using social media in a profitable way. Although you still get the, “bought a new at today, matches my hat”, type posts on the business side, it’s mostly good info.<\/p>\n
But I just wrote a note to my personal feed about hyper mediation making people beige. Which is something you are more likely to find in Media Communications degree essay I know, and I’m sure it leaves some of my Facebook F&F wondering WTF.<\/p>\n
The point is, you don’t get to see people’s lives, you only see the hyper mediated version that has any sharper corners sanded down by a high voltage Bosch power tool. You tend not to get any juicy bits.<\/p>\n
Hence the beige.<\/p>\n
Also, I am noticing a reduction in Facebook action from “normal” people. By normal I mean those that do not have to be chained to the altar of QWERTY 16 hours a day. The trend may be different with the generation who are growing up with http grafted on to their sub-consciousness who in a few years will have iPhone screens surgically grafted into the palms of their hands.<\/p>\n
And if we try to go towards the more fruity parts of Facecbook and social media, we soon find ourselves neck deep in a foul smelling brown fluid, that has a strange viscous quality.<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s best to stick with the beige.<\/p>\n
But I think, it’s more important to unhook from the stream of hyper mediated human consciousness and let the grass grow a little.<\/p>\n
Recently I nuked all of the people I follow on Twitter. Which is 99.9% business and strangely enough it’s led me to be more connected and communicating more with people. I suppose it has forced people to email, which persuades people to be more detailed than the regular 140 chars.<\/p>\n
Honestly, it is fascinating stuff picking at the threads. You do have to step back though to see some of the detail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
