The evolution of privacy on Facebook. A lovely piece of data-visualisation from Matt McKeon. Click through to see it animate with each year passing.
Obviously it begs the question “Where does it end?”.
And I don’t know what the answer to that is.

all those people who are on Facebook are also on another network I use every day. It’s called the internet. So why do I think I can connect and interact with them on Facebook but not anywhere else? Because Facebook made it easy. So now I have to wonder am I only staying in touch with those people because it requires absolutely zero effort on my part? What kind of a person does that make me? What does that say about how much I value their friendship? I feel like I’m saying “Oh hey there, I’m so glad I can see what is going on in your life so long as it’s wheeled out in front of me and doesn’t require me to actually lift a finger because if I had to do something like, type out your e-mail or go to your own website or *gasp* pick up a phone to talk to you that would just be too much.

I knew Facebook would take over the world eventually.

Brands, social media, dollars & sense
I came across a study today by Chadwick Martin Bailey that found that over 50% of people in the US are more likely to spend money on your brand if you’re engaged in social media. If I follow you on Twitter or I’m a fan on Facebook I’m also more likely to recommend you to a friend.
Makes sense.
I think brands are slowly wising up to the fact that if you have a relationship with your customers through social media you’re going to get more out of them. But what I found really interesting about this study was the comments that some of the participants made about brands who don’t have a social media presence. When asked the question “What does it say about a brand if they are not involved with sites like Facebook or Twitter?” they said the following:
- “It’s EXPECTED that a company have some digital face – whether it’s on FB or Twitter I don’t know – but they need a strong electronic presence or you doubt their relevance in today’s marketplace.” Female 50-54
- “Either they are not interested in the demographic that frequents Facebook and Twitter or they are unaware of the opportunity to get more exposure in a more interactive method.” Male 35-39
- “It shows they are not really with it or in tune with the new ways to communicate with customers.” Female 18-24.
- “If they’re not on Facebook or Twitter, then they aren’t in touch with the “electronic” people.” Female 55-59
Are you getting in touch with the “electronic people”?
