It’s really only been two years. How quickly the digital world changes.
A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by the New York Times for a piece written by Clive Thompson, “Brave New World of Digital Intimacy: I’m So Totally, Digitally Close to You.” I talked with Clive about my experience with social media, my revolt against News Feed, my blogging, and my embrace of Twitter and FriendFeed.
The NYT piece is a thorough piece over 5000 words long, so I’ll try to sum it up with my three main takeaways from the article:
1) Zuckerberg and Facebook created a revolt by privacy advocates by launching Facebook News Feed. And strangely enough, I was the leader of that very revolt.
2) Since the revolt, people have changed how they view privacy and friendships online and have embraced streaming their lives and struggles over platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
3) This change in how we share our lives has had a profound effect on how our friends, audience, and strangers see us and how we see them.
