Thanks for a great post! I too think Facebook is “unnatural.” I’m a 30-something, and do have a facebook page (at the request of a friend… now I have about a dozen friends is all). I only have a couple pictures up and can’t really bring myself to do much with it! Even have myself “hidden” so I can’t be found! The status updates and public comments just… I don’t know, something says, “don’t do it!” I really think the old-fashioned way of communiating was just fine.

Thanks for reading and adding your comment. This was a blog I posted last year after hearing John Moore speak at a symposium in NY. I liked his “Red Pill / Blue Pill” construct borrowed from the Matrix and just thought I would add my comments on his 10 headlines. Hope you got something from it also.

I can tell that this is not the first time you mention the topic. Why have you decided to touch it again?

The use of social media for marketing has the potential to be as mindless as much of the dot com era marketing was, when so much money was thrown at it without thinking there was even a need for strategy and focused messaging.

BTW, posted on the program Scott participated in on March 25, the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council’s panel discussion, at my blog (lindakolker.com/WordPress). His comments were interesting and helpful.

Yes we boomers are a bit hesitant at first to post our photos and information. Little by little we warm up. As to why people do have public conversations on Facebook – I always figure that they do not understand all the technology that’s available so they wind up posting to the wall.

I am a connector – I already have lots of direct communication with my friends and family. The value that Facebook adds for me is the opportunity to connect with my nieces and nephews who are spread out all over the country. That is, when they are not “grounded” from Facebook! No cards and letters or long phone conversations for these guys – and that’s suits me just fine!

Thanks for the feedback, Daniel! Hopefully they’ll learn soon enough that we can only take so many quizzes to find out which movie character we’re most like, what kind of cocktail you are, etc. etc.

Bora,

Our posts certainly have a lot in common. I like your observation that the 25-35 year old cohort has sort of bridged the gap between the younger and older generations. I have noticed similar behavior among the Tech/PR folks. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Christine! I like the site, it’s really interesting… it reminds me of a GAP t-shirt though
