Comments on: Guardian Changing Media: Care in the community - from new media to social media http://strange.corante.com/2007/03/22/guardian-changing-media-care-in-the-community-from-new-media-to-social-media Picking out patterns in the chaos Wed, 16 May 2012 21:03:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Kevin Anderson http://strange.corante.com/2007/03/22/guardian-changing-media-care-in-the-community-from-new-media-to-social-media#comment-2506 Kevin Anderson Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:45:00 +0000 http://strange.corante.com/2007/03/22/guardian-changing-media-care-in-the-community-from-new-media-to-social-media#comment-2506 Pete, engagement doesn't rub me the way that 'colonisation' does. Colonisation to me has the connotation of exploitation and a top-down shortcut to authentic engagement. I didn't hear all of the question on the stage so didn't realise that 'colonisation' was a quote from an article. My own experience is that these social spaces are advertising adverse or sensitive to campaigns. Engage with people, don't 'colonise' spaces.

John Naughten in his Observer column wrote the piece I was referring to, noting the entry of large corporates onto social networks, he predicted that this 'colonisation' would drive away the users. Oxfam is one of the many larger (corporate?) NGOs starting to engage with supporters and campaigners in social networks and I was (am) interested in whether this will be seen as intrusive by people in the spaces to socialise.
