Comments on: the twitimpact phenomenon on brand at light speed http://deniseleeyohn.com/bites/2009/10/14/the-twitimpact-phenomenon-on-brand-at-light-speed/ stuff for your brain to chew on Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:37:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: dan philllips http://deniseleeyohn.com/bites/2009/10/14/the-twitimpact-phenomenon-on-brand-at-light-speed/comment-page-1/#comment-8536 dan philllips Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:05:12 +0000 http://deniseleeyohn.com/bites/?p=2428#comment-8536 The funny thing about statuses is that about a year ago I realized I was boring. So I set out to change this. I had this huge sketchbook filled with ideas that never got done. Now I started doing these ideas just to be interesting with my status. Case in point: http://pic.gd/4733aa My attempts to be interesting in my status is all quite natural, I am just putting action behind my thoughts. So my actions are really building this image that other people build their ideas upon. Ultimately this is how branding works, I am now less boring. As you mentioned, people are building their personal brands with B.S. The "truth" is not just a version anymore, the "truth" has to be more accurate with social media acting as instant validation. The funny thing is being full of B.S. is a brand, not a good one but a brand nonetheless. The funny thing about statuses is that about a year ago I realized I was boring. So I set out to change this.

Whilst I was writing a book on Facebook Statuses, 'is; the Phenomenon of the Facebook Status' I could see over a period of time how people where telling their life story to the world, or at least trying to protray a certain image. With real time info via facebook and twitter coming from 3rd parties, this ensures that the this image protrayed isn't based on BS. Good artice, keep them coming ;-) Yeah, and rightly so, these socail networking sites just allow the truth to travel faster, which is never a bad thing, and is a good tool for ensuring people stay honest and mannered!
