More Self-Centered Idiocy From the Social Network Fringe.

In a virtually rambling and incoherent blog post, BFChirpy seems to write about metrics, knowledge and such stuff. Take a quick look. A great example of self-indulgent writing and thinking, AND the common extreme self-centeredness of almost all the most active social media pundits and fringe members.

I posted a response on the blog, but you never know what sticks so here’s mine:

Is it really all about you? It sounds like it. Your post here sounds like an ideal example to explain to people how social media (the whole thing-blogs, twitter, everything) has allowed every self-centered person to a) become more so because the medium suits it and b) to demonstrate how selfish they are and be applauded for it.

As a book author I’ve sold over 300,000 copies. And millions have accessed my websites. I will tell you that the ethical and successful approach to communicating is to balance their needs and my needs.

I know YOU don’t care. But, you know what. I do. I care that publishers, readers, me, end up well served.

Amazing comment eh? Why is it the most active social networkers who talk so much about people are the most selfish and self-centered and truly do NOT care about others?
