The antisocial web
2009 March 28 2009
On the Web before we know, only creating content, two kinds of people who knew the program a website or those who had enough money to pay someone to do them. So to find some information that will help us in search engines, we had to be lucky that someone knows the subject and also have an idea how to make a website. Little by little, people who knew about many things, but I had no idea how to share, was having more tools to do so. With this style of tools, he was the leap of knowledge, communication and community.
Knowledge and communication (although this is very frequent in the post), if they want the other day we talked, so if I worry about are the negative implications of the effects of community generated.
I have seen several times in the focus of the discussion, whether in social networks of contacts puts them as friends, followers, contacts or whatever name. That then begs the question of whether those listed are really friends or not. I think that put the name to put each one in your imagination knows where the relationship and gives up no where. At most a social network enhances the creation of friends, and let us see some interests in common, which we will facilitate the identification with many more people, new groups created randomly.
Anyway, the point is that the social web allows me to open talks A LOT, meet people, but not everything is rosy. As we add someone as a friend, are also those we do not add us to erase or block us! Then we have the distance that a person, feeling rejected or not value us makes us very badly!
I will say this is very debatable, but I think it makes you feel richer a man is social wealth. The silver without social connotations, has no meaning. Winning a football game is not valuable to absolutely nobody, has no meaning. Everything all at one time has a social purpose. Because we are social beings, but we would rock!
The web as a medium, has multiplied about 1000 times the communication possibilities to what was by traditional means. So when connected with a lot of people but, the chances of being "rejected" also grow, creating a social poverty in the user very hard (obviously depends on the value that will generate the contact). And while it is very nice to have so many friends, talk about many things, we must handle with extreme caution the negative effects.
I think that being ignored, being a social being, you feel less human, because your basic function, generating meaning is not being fulfilled. So we must be very careful with the image we show and we ended up generating. Any mail, tweet or word that is not answered, has a much greater negative implications than previously thought. In the blogs is kind of weird, because there is still a practical tool that allows us to see if we respoden or not, we go back to look, or by mail susbcribirnos, which is a bit tedious.
I have not really a recommendation to minimize or cancel this effect generated, but it seems more important to keep this in mind. I think to a denial or rejection, we must admit we were not necessarily according to the INTERESTED interesting that person, and therefore we must offer something that will generate greater sense particularly, or else pass it to who, if indicated. In turn I think you should answer as many emails as possible, and if we do not respond try to understand that we are not yet physically prepared to answer everything you send us, maybe in the future if, not a bad idea to start working in that ![]()
Well I want to hear your opinion, according to the situations experienced by everyone, is going to be able to bring together a lot and maybe we can think of this topic.
Thank you very much.
