Over-Sharing on Social Media

The 'Are We Sharing Too Much Online?' Infographic Assesses Privacy

— June 23, 2012 — Lifestyle
The 'Are We Sharing Too Much Online' infographic is an interesting compilation on the question almost every Facebook, Twitter, or other user asks themselves before they join social media sites, once their on it, and when they see someone oversharing. It seems like almost everyone has encountered (past or present) someone that makes them cringe with their online TMI.

Because talking about ourselves, according to the 'Are We Sharing Too Much Online' infographic, can be satisfying, cathartic, and exciting, people are likely to get semi-addicted to oversharing. One of the key points of the infographic, however, is that while it may be the release you're looking for, you are probably putting yourself in danger, so definitely make sure to cut back on the personal details.
Trend Themes
1. Privacy Concerns - Businesses can innovate by creating social media privacy tools and education campaigns that inform users of the potential risks and encourage responsible online sharing.
2. Social Media Monitoring - Businesses can explore opportunities to offer social media monitoring services that scan for sensitive information and flag inappropriate posts, helping users protect their online reputation.
3. Digital Wellness - Businesses can develop digital wellness solutions such as mindfulness apps, digital detox retreats, or other stress-reducing tools that help users manage their technology use and maintain a healthy balance between online and offline life.
Industry Implications
1. Tech - Technology companies can innovate by developing new privacy-focused social media platforms or creating data protection technologies that safeguard user information without sacrificing usability.
2. Marketing - Marketing agencies can help businesses protect their online reputation and maintain a positive brand image by offering social media crisis management services, reputation monitoring tools, or online brand protection strategies.
3. Health and Wellness - Health and wellness companies can offer digital detox retreats, mindfulness meditation apps, or other stress-reducing solutions that help users manage their tech usage and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
