Caring For Your Online Introvert

Event Interactive 2011
Format Panel
Organizer Joanne McNeil – The Tomorrow Museum
Description If you are a geek, you are probably introverted. But you might not seem introverted online. In the comfort of your own home, you can have endless conversations on message boards and mailing lists, have several instant message chats simultaneously, and thrive on these controlled social interactions. This also works in reverse. An overwhelmingly extroverted person could be too busy going to parties or talking on the phone to keep up with Facebook, appearing introverted when it comes to social media. Some of us are offline and online introverts. We don't like tagging people on Facebook. We don't @ reply very much on Twitter. Communicating through social media feels like small talk to the average online introvert. Social media can feel as draining as a cocktail party. Introverts sometimes appear standoffish to extroverts. Online introverts are similarly misunderstood by online extroverts. This panel will discuss the conflicts that occur between online extroverts and online introverts. We will also discuss "netiquette," as it relates to different personality types.
