This is really a great post, Meg. I think it could only really be written by someone with a strong grip on branding, but it’s a really nice reality check to the amount of ‘omg who are you being online’ crap that’s flying around the juiced up social media landscape lately. Twitter made things so fast and immediate that everyone freaked out and decided that talking about how we talk was more important than just talking.
So, well said. :)
I like talking. I like when you talk, and I like when we talk.
Genius.
I grew weary of the “social media branding” of it all so long ago. I’m me. I’m not *selling* myself, I’m blogging and tweeting and sharing my pictures. I share with people I know as well as people I meet via these channels.
I’m fairly certain we’re in the minority, however.
I would LOVE this as an audio podcast. The energy in written form is palpable and would be delicious in quadraphonic sound.
I think what you’re saying is that you are a brand that is in denial and needs some counseling.
Megville is sans snuggling tonight. And if I were to quote some people from Blues Brothers, I would shout loudly – probably not from a car with loudspeakers on top – “We’re getting the brand back together!”
Wow. Last night, I woke up and thought “Meg Fowler hasn’t written a blog post in a while. I kinda miss her.” And then I fell asleep again. And then? You write another blog post! You have made my Tuesday!
Brands are for cows…labels are for jars.
I’m glad you’re 100% Meg.
:)
ps- hoping one of these days we can do the ‘talking IRL thing’
are you sure, you have never written for that show gilmore girls.
Thanks for being you. I like reading your blog.
I`m all up in many of those things, too (blogging, twitter, etc…), but I am so definitely not a brand. Unlike you (and many of the other commenters, who all sound so intelligent that I`m sort of intimidated to comment too, to tell the truth) I don`t really think about branding myself or my website. I`m just me and that`s what my blog is about – me.
I’m glad you like to talk, and that you are Meg.
Meg,
This is one of the reasons I read you, because of your authentic voice, so not all me + blog + brand + fame that so many have become.
Thank you, please keep writing.
I just know that you’re an incredible person who is real and honest and that you’re very smart and you make me laugh. What more is there? I mean, what more that’s important, anyway.
