THIS!!!! “We are going to see a real change as businesses can no longer dictate, ‘Be in the office five days a week, 9 to 5,’” Brady says. “Instead, the strategy will become, ‘How can we get you to come into the office, some of the time, to meet up with your colleagues?’ The balance…

It’s looking more and more like the Twitter Bitcoin scam was an inside job, or at least aided quite a bit by someone inside of Twitter who had access to do all of that. But, the interesting part, to me, of this article is at the end. The list of previous issues at social networks…
This is an interesting post, first because I’m surprised the iTunes gift card scam is still happening, and people are still falling for it, but secondly because I think the conversation is educational. Notice all of the weird excuses for why they can’t do it themselves, why they are unreachable by phone, the avoidance of…
According to this survey by Cleo, the number is quite significant. Leaving the workforce: In April, 20% said they were considering leaving the workforce.

One of the most popular arguments we hear, and one I’ve made myself, is that to truly stay informed, and avoid living in the bubble of our own political bias, we need to make sure we are getting information from a variety of sources, including ones we may not agree with.
This study seems to be telling us that isn’t enough, and it can easily be manipulated. If I read an opposing viewpoint, and there’s no reward for doing so, I’m unlikely to really be influenced by it, but if I read an opposing viewpoint and get rewarded for it, I’m more likely to change my mind.
Now, remember that emotional contagion we might get from social media? What if I shared one side of a political view, and got rewarded by the algorithms or whomever with lots of likes and comments, and the post got shared a whole bunch, but posts from the other side, got none of that? Which side am I more likely to agree with? Right, the one that I got better grades on. Not because it’s true, better, or more accurate, but because I am rewarded for thinking that way. Rewarded the way I’ve been my whole life, since I was a little boy, from the first time my parents wanted me to behave a certain way, all the way through my school years, and for all of my career.
How hard would that be to fight against? Almost impossible, I’d say. How easy would it be for social media to do it, either the companies themselves, or large groups of users?
How does that influence what we do see on social media?
