Either Way Possible
I believe any social networking has both effects possible - Positive and / or negative.

On one hand it lets you build and present your personal brand, to be active and connected with in community while on the other hand it could lead to negativity and generate some damage. But it all depends on how well you manage, contain and present yourself is the key. That itself dictates what you could get into. As long as you are mindful and know certain limits i believe the positive effects would certainly oouweigh the negative ones. At the same time if one gets overly addictive and maintains no barrier in kind of information that is being made public, we never know what can come back to us.

Re: Either Way Possible
"I have been on the prowl at my local community to assess how best to be engaged in social media so that folks can notify the city about issues and be notified in the event of an emerge..." I use the app "Nextdoor" for that. One night there was a helicopter circling over our block pretty late in the evening. I took to Facebook to find out what was going on - they were using a spotlight from the chopper and I was worried they were chasing someone, No one really knew until someone checked Nextdoor and all it turned out to be was a broken water main break. I slept much better that night than if I thought some crazy killer was on the loose!

Re: Either Way Possible
First of, I am extremely Humbled...thank you!!   I look forward to the continued opportunity and privilege to serve and engage with my distinguished friends here "in community".

As for your particular thoughts @vmnumean, I am a NextDoor User and two communities have recently rolled it out--it has its' pluses and minuses.  For instance, I don't get half the notifications on one of the communities--pitfalls of tech as our march onward to transformation continues.

Re: Either Way Possible
@mpouraryan - I hear you - there is still some work to do for the App writers at Nextdoor.  They are on the right track, although I shudder to think what else they are doing with the information they have on me.  But for now, I do like getting the updates on what's happening - especially when I am away.  Over Christmas break, we were travelling to see family in another state and the house 3 doors down from us burned down!  I was glad to get the information in real time instead of driving past it after flying home and wondering, "what the heck happened??"

Re: Either Way Possible
Bringing people together is always a good thing to continue the transformation process.  I would even go out on a limp to suggest that such more "closed" social ecosystems can be a precursor of things to come--Slack is what I was thinking of.

Re: Either Way Possible
Speaking of ATT's survival - it seems they are trying to cut Google Fiber off at the pass in Louisville, KY where AT&T just filed a lawsuit against the local government.

They are suing over a new city law, which was passed this month, that "makes it easier for Internet providers to string their lines on utility poles. The law lets companies such as Google Fiber move other providers' equipment on the pole, in order to make room for their own."

AT&T claims the city government has no authority to write such a law.  It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Re: Either Way Possible
The nice thing about maintaining strong social media presences on multiple networks is that it's great for your SEO -- and, in turn, in general, your reputation management.  The more information out there that you control about yourself, the less likely it is for negative stuff -- when and if it comes up -- to stay very searchable for long.

What you noted is one word: Empowerment--and it is fun to be empowered.   Although the dark side continues to persist and it is up to us to continue to harness this in a way that would do right to all.

It Makes Sense
We don't readily think of Social Media companies as being the expers at social media marketing but it makes total sense.  I am in class right now to get a diploma in social media marketing and the professor often sites social media platforms as the best at their own marketing.

Re: It Makes Sense
I think Google qualifies as a service provider carrier if for no other reason than Google Fiber -- and FB and Google both are engaging in mesh- and balloon-based systems to bring connectivity to third-world nations.

Not that FB posts have much to do with that, but still.

Whoops
Alas, I missed the "service provider" fine print before I posted my entry.  Not sure a bank counts as a service provider in the telco context.  ;)  Oh, well.
