Ditch The Digital Combover
I don't know about you but...
I subscribe to the belief that people connected via social media are generally good.
Except of course, when they turn out to be full of shit.
Then they become people who are full of shit connected to people who are generally good via social media.
I believe a more case study way of saying this is coined in Jeremiah's recent post.
He's referring to companies with "digital combovers" <-- LOL.
But I would argue that this also applies to people as well.
Listen to Jeremiah.
Ditch the digital combover.
You're not fooling anyone.

sometimes when i think of social media, i think of...
chattering teeth. at first glance, kind of cute. but once it gets all wound up and starts walking and talking towards you, you have to admit. it's kind of creepy.
things aren't always what they appear to be at first glance.
I love Flickr. Don't you? You find the most interesting images sometimes when browsing around. Take for example this image of what looks like a simple black card with a circle. What exactly makes up the black card and what does the circle represent? According to the photographer himself:
Intriguing isn't it? Is it the moon ? Is it a ring ? Is it moving ? Is it huge/small ? Is it watching?
Is it a mug or glasses filling with coffee ? This picture is a white and black contrast of a coffee glass that I have bought at a convenient store. I have put it on the sidewalk and take the shot. I have used Picasa to add more shadow in it to emphasis the contrast and erase almost everything of the object. It's maybe my first post-modernism picture.
The object is central to the picture perfectly integrated
but so strangely unidentifiable and so familiar by it's shape.
Yes. Intriguing indeed. His last two lines are interesting. Can be applied to a lot of things we often come across in our lives. I like how the image conjures up questions from certain people who look past the obvioius assumption that it's a simple black card with a circle. Asking questions always helps in getting someone one step closer to the truth. I hope in the case of a friend in my life right now, that proves to be true.
And this is all I have to say about that so i'll stop talking in circles now.
A Global View Of The Housing Bubble
This interesting graph from McKinsey highlights the tremendous run up in home prices on inflation adjusted terms over the last 40 years since 1970. This runup reversed abruptly last year, with the US shedding 10% of value and the remainder of the global economies losing in aggregate around 4%. This slide equates to nearly $3.5 trillion dollars of personal wealth evaporation. Considering the immense mortgage leverage overhang on many of these homes and the chance that any appreciation will be slow to come, this global housing bubble will certainly dampen growth in consumption and global economic recovery.
too many soapboxes on the same street corner.
Seriously. Judging from the way so called "early adopters" use social media. You would think the movement evolved with the sole purpose of giving everyone a little soap box to shout out their expertise in little linkable, bloggable, tweetable bite sized pieces of ego. We all do it. No big deal in small doses. The problem is there are too many experts starting to get caught up in their own self importance. So much so that it's hard for them to see that their expertise is becoming a commodity.
What happens when social media folds into mainstream media? What happens when people figure out that all the stupid buzzwords out there are just different ways of saying absolutely nothing impactful whatsoever? What happens when knowing 101 ways to tweet becomes the social media equivelant of the stupid pet trick?
Too many soapboxes on the same street corner. A corner where the closest thing to a real audience is just a bunch of people in the real world gathered around listening just long enough until the light changes at the crosswalk.
