The End of Shame: or, Getting Over Oversharing →
Ms. Melissa Gira Grant of Glass Houses—get it?—has upped the ante, I think, on the conversation about oversharing (because yes, we’re apparently still having that conversation). From the SXSW panel picker:
“Oversharing is over. Now we’re told opening up online is the most valuable currency there is. What’s the real value in relating the most painful, awkward, potentially humiliating parts of our lives on the internet? Is there a line anymore between authentic self-expression and savvy marketing? If The New Transparency is really what we’re being sold, how transparent are we ready to be? “
Brave lady.
