The Authenticity of Facebook and Twitter | Big Is The New Small.
I credit Scott Williams for causing me to rethink and discover twitter as being something more than bumper sticker wisdom. I can’t recall where I came across his blog, but as I started following his twitter feed, it opened up how leaders are using twitter for development and deeper communication. If anything, tweets are now the front end/summary for blogs and indepth commentary that facebook will never match. Following his recommendation of Hootsuite, its a whole new level of learning and reflection at my fingertips in the morning as I start my day.
My next podcast will be on twitter, leadership, and reflecting on God. Its been a new twist in my wired wanderings so props to scott for the new road.
His post here is about how authenticity has been lost in human relations and that our digital interactions can actually be a source of restoration if we realize that we are a consistent self, both in meat world and virtually. The moment we separate and wear multiple masks in either space, we lose authenticity. Check out the blog but definitely sign up for his twitter feed.
