Social Networking: Rethinking Productivity

Nice paper looking at the benefits and negatives of social networking. An interesting negative is 'social resistance to change': "Active social networking opens you up to being heavily influenced by others. In a way it subjects you to a new form of social conditioning. Once your network knows you a certain way, it may resist some of your attempts to grow and change." Steve Pavlina, Personal Development for Smart People, November 27, 2009.

"Once your network knows you a certain way, it may resist some of your attempts to grow and change."

Hah! Sounds a lot more like my "regular" network of local family and friends. My online friends are much more adventurous and open to change. I vote "no" on his analysis. :-) [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
