I watched a video from Gary Vaynerchuk this weekend where he talked about more eyeballs in the form of followers would not change a person but expose the true identity of that person.
This can be applied here because the content and tone of conversations that are held on social media platforms really just expose the individuals communication “standard”.
What I’m saying is, I don’t think there is a common standard across a group of people but only a common standard for each individual, set by that individual.
Ryan – I agree that there is a common standard for each individual. But do you think we hold individuals to a different standard when they are interacting online – such as on Twitter, Facebook, or in a blog – versus when we interact with them offline? Or is the increased visibility and echo chamber of social media simply creating the perception that the standards are different?
This is a provoking idea.
Perhaps social media cuts both ways. It extends our relationship networks but allows a mask. It touches our inner voice but allows us to broadcast falsehoods.
I’ve seen fake people online now, and I’ve discovered realities about friends that are surprising. It’s just a choice. You can open up the soul, or you can shill to the crowd.
Ben – interesting point. I tend to agree with you that social media cuts both ways. But is it simply that people’s actions are amplified in social media (a fake person becomes even more fake when online; a nice person is easy to spot), or that we scrutinize people much more?
And – this is where it gets interesting – to what degree does group-think influence perceptions? Someone gets popular and attracts lots of attention – so everyone assumes they’re nice, helpful, etc. The reality can be very different – the echo chamber is pretty deafening.
