It’s a directly proportional relationship. Let’s all not talk about the same things at once, shall we?

Ha. My behavior is as such: if >4 people on my follow list tweet about something, I will never click on the link – just because I get so annoyed /bored. So sometimes I miss out on things that are pretty cool. oops.
Yeah.
I love foursquare. Like, love love it. But if I see another tweet about foursquare, I don’t know what’s going to happen.
The foursquare comment is so last weekend for me. But, i think that I could be mayor of EVERYTHING around here:)
Perhaps the solution is to only talk if you have something useful to contribute. Then even if everybody’s talking about something, at least what they’re saying is of value. If all I have to say is, “This is neat,” well, that’s just not enough of a reason to speak up.
Some people might be silenced forever. But they probably wouldn’t abide by my rule anyway.
BUT! You can’t always be ahead of the curve, sometimes you have to let other people tell you what is of value. (that’s a very big sometimes)
Mom - I think I should get some sort of award for having you already be “over” foursquare. That’s awesome. I don’t think I know any other mothers of digital strategists that are echoing that sentiment. It’s safe to say I have the coolest mom in the industry, methinks.
Nora - I guess I should amend my statement, to a degree. When EVERYONE is talking about something hilarious? Great, let’s all laugh together. But yeah, if you’re talking about “new social media thing X,” have something to contribute. I’ve certainly run afoul of this rule before, but I like to think I’ll not make the same mistake again.
Hey Clay,
I love love foursquare too but even though I’ve got it connected to Twitter I never knowingly post my foursquare activity there…who needs all that noise?! To your point there’s enough noise on Twitter to begin with.
I also love love that your mom is ‘over’ foursquare…or anything digitally related, that’s just awesome
Hope NYC is treating you well.

You know, I don’t mind the twitter updates and pings, as I’m pretty happy with seeing where my friends are and what they’re doing. Especially if I’m not in their city. For instance, if Kevin goes on a crazy bender some night, I kind of want to see that unfurl before me from afar.
I guess what’s annoying is the sheer volume in the stream, because the raw “I’m here!” notices come along with the, “Oh my god, #foursquare is so great! I wonder how brands can use this!?” My response, in my head, is: well, why don’t you do something about it and figure something out. Pitch it to somebody, and just go head and do it.
Meh.
NYC is treating me very well! Loving it.
