Some people refer to it as the me-media but it's what we marketers have been doing for ages: focusing on the ego of the consumer. And yes I agree that my real life interests don't always translate into social media interests. Similarly to how I purchase books, some are for reference, some are for fun, but just because I'm interested in physics doesn't mean I buy every physics book I can get my hand on. Thanks for the comment! Bill, you speak truth about Social Media being all about the reader.

And yes I agree that my real life interests don’t always translate into social media interests. Similarly to how I purchase books, some are for reference, some are for fun, but just because I’m interested in physics doesn’t mean I buy every physics book I can get my hand on.

Thanks for the comment!

What I'm interested in. Twitter and RSS is a way for me to find out about things I'm interested in. Am I really interested in a Ford Fiesta? Actually, yes, because it's a cheap car with good gas mileage, but not at all via twitter and facebook. Unless there is something special or interesting about it. For me, social media is about me.
