Réseaux sociaux : le spectre du consensus mou » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism Les réseaux sociaux, Facebook et Twitter, accentuent tous deux la valeur de socialisation. Laquelle conduit à une forme d’auto-contrôle de ses membres, notamment via le conformisme qui traduit l’évitement du risque. Readwriteweb avait commenté l’étude (2009) de Cameron Marlow, sociologue travaillant pour Facebook, qui montre le décalage entre le nombre d’amis Facebook et le nombre réel d’amis, ceux avec qui on a de vrais échanges. Les internautes ont en moyenne 130 amis sur Facebook (chiffre 2010) mais ne dialoguent qu’avec quatre d’entre eux (pour les hommes) ou six (pour les femmes). Même les collectionneurs ayant 500 amis ou plus, ne font guère mieux : 10 pour les hommes et 16 pour les femmes. (Peut-être parce qu’elles y passent plus de temps, mais cela ne répond pas à la question de leurs motivations, à creuser…) Voilà qui remet en cause l’idée d’une sur-sollicitation sociale qui conduirait à l’appauvrissement des échanges en raison du nombre.

Editor's note: This is part of Lynn Parramore's ongoing AlterNet series on job insecurity and part of the New Economic Dialogue Project. America’s young people have been hit so hard by the crappy economy that they can’t even get out the door. Something is going horribly wrong in our economy—something that will cost everybody. The Wages of Recession The U.S. has seen a significant uptick of young people unable to afford to move out on their own since the start of the Great Recession in 2007, when just 32 percent lived with their parents. Folks just starting out in life continue to face a jobs crisis even as the economy improves, as Catherine Ruetschlin and Tamara Draut of the public policy think tank Demos have found. Interestingly, according to the Pew poll, it’s the young men who are having the hardest time moving out. Families Under Stress
Tomorrow's media needs to be wired, inspired and for women | Media | The Observer Women 'are embracing the internet in a way that men are not', according to a recent study by analysts ComScore. Photograph: Getty Sex counts at the newsstand. Once upon a quite recent time, it was male readers who mattered most. A summer research study from ComScore, an authoritative digital analysis company, shows women worldwide beginning to dominate social networking on the net and to stay online longer then men (buying as well as chatting). And some of that switch obviously has an impact on media fortunes, too. Can you correlate these statistics with overall circulation performance, Chisholm asks. The easy thing to say about Mail Online is that it's stuffed with celebrity gossip. Very soon, now, the National Readership Survey will be issuing figures in two separate categories: print and on the net. But what, away from statistics, is it that women want? Watch this space, then.

So about Goliad..... (Adventure Time related) : FanTheories Toy Story 3, l’homme est un jouet pour l’homme… » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism Même s'il s'agit d'un formidable film d'animation doublé d'un excellent divertissement, Toy Story 3 est aussi une allégorie sur la notion d'esclavage, à travers les corps sans vie des jouets. Ce n’est pas avec plaisir que je vais porter un regard critique sur un film qui est une vraie réussite et témoigne d’un travail de conception et de réalisation particulièrement aboutis, mais la séduction que dégage ce réjouissant programme familial dans l’air du temps se met au service d’une étrange conception de l’homme conçu comme un jouet dans le regard de celui que Slavoj Zizek ne manquerait pas d’appeler le Sujet Absolu. Et c’est parce qu’au fond ce délicieux programme familial distille aussi bien du plaisir que des idées qu’il me semble intéressant d’en éclairer les soubassements idéologiques qui en font un efficace récit d’initiation à la servilité heureuse de l’homme dans une économie de marché.

U.S. Wheat Banned in Japan, South Korea After Discovery of Monsanto GMO : politics Influencing the Influencer inShare4 The competition for attention is focused on social networks as brands vie for awareness and consideration. Establishing a presence in Facebook and Twitter is as necessary as it is trivial. In the great social land grab, many organizations are missing true opportunities to connect with the fifth P of the marketing mix, people. It’s less about communicating with those individuals who are already following you online and more about those who aren’t. To excel in social media, engagement has its rewards but it is through the acts of recognition, empowerment and reward that advocacy extends a brand’s reach across social graphs and social networks, online and in the real world. Competing for the Moment: The New Influencer Transcending visibility into presence and presence into community is the critical path for companies to earn a place in the hearts, minds, words and actions of the very people who define its markets.

How Capitalism Is Dismembering America Too many Americans are unaware of the extreme disparities that have been caused by the unregulated profit incentive of capitalism. Our winner-take-all system is flailing away at once-healthy parts of society, leaving them like withered limbs on a trembling body, even as the relative few who benefit promote the illusion of opportunity and prosperity for all. Concerned citizens armed with facts are not fooled. Hacking Off the Poor Half of Society Some wealthy and uninformed individuals have referred to the lowest-income 47 percent of Americans as the "takers," who enjoy government benefits at the expense of the high-earning one percent. The income for a family of four on Temprary Assistance for Needly Families (TANF) is less than what the average member of the Forbes Top 20 made in one second at the office. The 47 percent don't own stocks. Slashing the Security of the Elderly Recipients of 'entitlements' are accused by the uninformed of getting something for nothing. Slicing Up Justice
Inception, Extraction and the Socialization of Business inShare42 Every now and then, I draw comparisons between the things that inspire me offline in order to help spark creativity and evolution in all that I do online. Inception served as a catalyst for rethinking social media and how we use it to socialize not just our marketing efforts, but our business overall. If you have yet to see the movie, don’t worry, I won’t include any spoilers here. In the film, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Dom Cobb, sets the stage for the movie and subsequent analysis through poignant monologue that continues to resonate with me… What is the most resilient parasite? The premise of the movie begins with extraction, but the moral of the story is underscored by inception. If you’ve read Seth Godin’s best-selling book IdeaVirus, the power of ideas may already sound familiar. Godin shows, the now-familiar idea of viral marketing is one very specific form of ideavirus marketing. Cobb is the director. The Production of Social Media Requires a Dedicated Cast Mr.
