Social networking and the culture of me.
A friend of ours has just added a plug-in to his Facebook profile, described thusly:
Trakzor is a new facebook tool that helps people see who is checking them and their friends out. Click above to see who is viewing me on facebook, who I’m viewing, and from there…get Trakzor to see who is viewing YOU.
Whilst offices across the country stutter to a halt, that’s what are all these folk on Facebook are actually doing. They’re looking at you looking at them looking at everyone else. All bloody day. Now this is what the boys over at Gaydar have been doing for years but — in contrast — they don’t so much observe as (ahem) seal the deal.
All of this really amounts to everyone sticking a great big ‘I exist’ sign on their heads — we admit it, we’re there too (who isn’t?). In the hyper-connected now, is all we need to show that we really really matter a thriving Facebook profile and a bubbling-over Twitter feed?
BigShinyThing now has a group on Facebook — if you can’t beat, join (etc). Come on over for a chat.
