PJA Internet Radio: “Is Social Media for Narcissists?”
September 4th, 2009 by Greg Straface
If you missed the September 3rd episode of PJA’s Internet Radio show, “This Week in Social Media,“ then you can listen here if you did. For this episode we discussed “is Social Media for Narcissists?” A recent study indicated that 57% of young people believe their generation uses social networking for self-promotion, narcissism, and attention-seeking. Is this type of behavior necessary for succeeding in a competitive world? How do you balance a legitimate personal voice with professional and organizational objectives in social media? Who’s doing it right, and what needs to be done differently? We also talked about the week’s best and worst in social media.

The Ad Contrarian had a great quote revolving around this topic when he said “Twitter is how the narcissistic communicate with the feckless.”
