‘We Are the Set of Things We Are Connected With’ – Mark Zuckerberg Talks Shop with Robert Scoble

Posted by John Saddington on Jun 15, 2009

churchoffacebookApparently Mark Zuckerberg likes Green Day. I guess that’s “who he is.”

Or, at least according to what’s he’s implying.

It’s a decent video of Mark talking with Robert Scoble about “business” at Facebook, platform technology, isolation, and our “connections.”

Are we truly what we’re connected with? Am I the “sum” of my social networking profiles? I’d hope not.

I think there’s a lot in here though, and a yet-to-be-published book I just finished reading (and giving a very positive review and endorsement) touches on it a great deal.

It’s definitely a conversation that must be had.

    I wonder how similar that book is to Dwight Friesen's new book, "Thy Kingdom Connected"?

    John, I don't interpret what Zuckerberg said as diminishing our identities or our "being," but rather, I think he's simply re-stating a classic postmodern "truth": We are culturally situated people. My identity does not exist outside of relationship to these other people (the "social graph") or these things with which I've self-identified (the things I'm a "fan" of or am "following" on Twitter, etc.). Postmodernism helps us see how culturally/socially situated we are. The social graph helps us to see our location in relationship to other people and things (companies/brands/etc.).
