Funny Because It's True: Comedian Louis C.K. Thinks Social Media Sucks [VIDEO via @mashable]

 

 

Comedian Louis C.K. is never at a loss for strong opinions, and that holds true for social media. He hates it, and when he visited Conan O’Brien late last week, he made some strong points about the way people are squandering their lives by watching everything through three-inch screens and social media.

Is he right? I’ve noticed that any time a spectacular event is happening where a lot of people are gathered around, a large percentage of them are holding up smartphones to photograph the event, rather than directly experiencing it. Many others have their heads buried in their tiny screens, tweeting about it.

Are we missing real-world experiences so we can indulge in social media? Are we taking pictures and video of spectacular occurrences, instead of simply putting our smartphones and cameras in our pockets and diving into the real world with our own eyes and ears?

Maybe we need to rethink this. Discuss.

There's explosions and acrobats, but they're looking at it through a little three-inch screen!

ThinkGeek Facebook Community Comes Together to Buy Lil' Simon a GP2X Wiz

First things first: What the heck is a GP2X Wiz? And thanks for the heads up on this, @DRJedi!

Okay. Now here's an awesome example of a thriving social media community in action. The the genuine, passionate, let's-work-together-because-we-care kind.

How it started: ThinkGeek recieved this adorable letter from Simon (shown below). ThinkGeek then shared a photo of the letter with their Facebook fans, complete with playful, trigonomic geekery: "Dear Simon, Thank you for your letter! You should have your parents cosine it, though. (And the GP2X Wiz is actually on sale right now http://j.mp/iUVTtb but not sure we can get it down to $13.)"

ThinkGeek's Facebook fans loved it.

A Facebook fan takes initiative: After numerous fans encouraged ThinkGeek to buy Simon a GP2X Wiz or expressed that they'd be willing to help buy him one themselves, Facebook fan Dawn Connelly took it upon herself to launch a ChipIn account to raise $137.87 in only a few hours, keeping the community updated on progress along the way.

ThinkGeek listened: After all said and done, ThinkGeek agreed to buy Simon a Wiz and use the fundraised money to donate to charity. Action was initiated and change took place in less than a day. Pretty cool, huh?

 

Food for Thought: Eli Pariser's TED Talk on Online "Filter Bubbles"

via ted.com

On one hand, I'm a huge advocate for instant personalization. Especially from a marketing perspective. There exists vast potential for brands to make their content, products and services far more relevant to the end consumer by incorporating influence from an individual's social graph. However, the thought of passively getting fed content that already reaffirms your worldview is a bit frightening. To help counteract this, I make sure to check my "Most Recent" news feed on Facebook to see what people I don't interact with frequently are sharing, and I follow a plethora of people on Twitter who expose me to topics and news that I might not discover otherwise. Maybe I should start Googling when I'm not logged in, too.

How are you ensuring you get exposed to content and ideas that challenge you?

Worth Watching: Brene Brown's TED Talk on the Power of Vulnerability

Brene Brown spent six years studying human connection and in this talk shares what she's discovered about courage, shame and feeling worthy of connecting to others.

It's funny. It's honest. I like.  

She says we numb vulnerability, fear, disappointment, grief and all things we hate feeling, but in doing so, we also numb happiness, joy and graditude. "Connection is why we're here. It's is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives," she says, and our fear of vulnerability - of being seen - holds us back. "The people who have a strong sense of love and belonging believe they're worthy of love and belonging." 

We people are interesting creatures. 

Enjoy.
