Justin: The right thing to say, not the…
Kirsten: Right. Not what they actually…
Justin: This is what I really…
Kirsten: Not what they actually feel; right?
Justin: Yes. High self-monitors…
Kirsten: Fascinating.
Justin: Are very likable and successful people, however, it appears the highest self-most just aren’t that deep, their propensity to self-censor.
Kirsten: They’re not deep.
Justin: They will, it’s, I mean, I guess not necessarily what you’re getting from them at least isn’t deep.
Kirsten: Yes.
Justin: The propensity to self-monitor prompts them to avoid interaction, threatening interactions that are more honest and to avoid self-disclosures. The results – partners of high self-most maybe completely in dark about the extent of their high self-most partners degree of commitment or regard for them. In other words, they will be fine. And of course by fine, we mean, flack, insecure, neurotic, and evasive.

Justin: Disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer. Following hour of programming does not represent the views or opinions of the University of California, Davis, KDVS or its sponsors, at least right now it doesn’t.

Still, time has a way of finding us in places we never expected we would be — like right now. If you look around you, I’m sure you can think back to a time when your current circumstance would seem very unlikely.

But somehow, chance, opportunity, hard work or persistent passiveness have led you here, to this moment, the “now” moment. And as always, this is moment which you can do, the moment in which action is possible. That moment has come again, and now it’s gone again. But wait! Look out, it’s back. And so it goes, again and again, over and over, until once again you find yourself listening to This Week In Science, coming up next.

Justin: Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! The following hour of programming has been prerecorded for your pleasure. While the voices you will hear are those of real people speaking their own thoughts while reporting news of scientific interest, the radio station that is sending you those voices – university in which the radio station is located and the sponsors who support the radio station located within said university are not real!

And therefore, have no thoughts or opinions. At least not any that will necessary be representative – which you are about to hear. On the other hand, if you’re podcasting today’s show, please keep in mind – your computer, or mp3 player agrees with us completely.

And we’ll plot against you, if you show even the slightest disagreement with This Week In Science, coming up next.

Justin: Disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer! The following hour of programming deals with subject matter that is appropriate for audiences of all ages. You do not need to consult the doctor before listening. People with an open mind are advised to use double the recommended dose.

Should you find yourself with a thought lasting more than 24 hours, as a result of listening, it’s okay. It’s not a disorder syndrome or an illness; it’s just your brain on science. While the University of California Davis, KDVS and its sponsors have asked me to remind you that the views and opinions on the show are not their own, they have not offered to tell ME what their views and opinions are and therefore offer nothing to our conversation.

So I will continue. It’s okay to listen while operating heavy machinery. It’s okay to listen heavily before driving. It’s okay to eat nothing or a lot during, before and after each show.

JUSTIN: Yes?
KIRSTEN: Yes. Anton Barbeau, he was on our 2006, that’s from our 2006 Science Music Compilation. The song previous to that was Robots Are Great. That was also on our – that was Chris Taylor on our 2006 Music Compilation. Last year we had a good 2007 Music Compilation that I’ve been sending out to people. And we are going to have a 2008 Music Compilation CD.
JUSTIN: Wow!
KIRSTEN: We are. We are. We are. And I’m putting the call out right now for those of you out there with bands, little guitar tinkerers, arm chair musicians.

JUSTIN: Disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer!
As the New Year begins, Science finds itself in familiar territory. The frontier region between what we have learned, what we are bearing down on discovering and that unknown country from whose born no researcher returns.
Darkness has always surrounded the light of knowledge.

In our knowing of the unknown, the unfathomed, the unseen, we pushed back that darkness, revealed its secrets, unlocked its mysteries, stand tried up and upon its domesticated shores of innovation, and ahead of us?
More darkness, more intrigue and more learning awaits. The land of the unknown is vast and limitless and its puzzles, its problems, its Pandoras – Pandoras of plenty!

With so many empty boxes on the laboratory floor, we run our fingers across the lids of still more. On the shoulders of giants once again, Scientists on the intellectual hunt – testing hypothesis, taxing brains, pushing technology, re-inventing the possible and fearlessly seeking truth.

Marc:  Well that I’m sure that’s what LinkedIn says and thinks. But that is a severe problem and to be honest, you know, I have got people who said “Marc, you know, this is inappropriate, you know, don’t send – forward these kinds of introductions to me.

That‘s it. It only happens once or twice for four or five years in general. I don’t find it to be a problem and that’s why I have some standards in terms of the kinds of messages that I cross, but I think fundamentally – and I hope you agree – you know, my role as a introduction forwarder, is not to be a filter it’s – you know, I find it presumptuous that I should know what you as the recipient are looking forward to, or what kind of situation you’re in, you know, and I – I’m not going to speak to that, what I will do is to ensure that the request is a professional and appropriate one.

But aside from that, you know, I don’t know where you’re at and what kind of introduction you accept, so therefore I do place, you know, large part of the onus on the recipient to decide for themselves, whether or not it’s a reasonable request, whether they’re going to accept it or not.

Dave: I mean there’s lots of interesting things that can be done once LinkedIn says “We don’t have to own every line of code.

Marc:  Well absolutely and that’s going to be a fine line, I think that LinkedIn will have in terms of maintaining true to the LinkedIn philosophy of strong connections and maintaining close control over personal information and privacy while at the same time opening up to business services that are going to be useful as opposed to the explosion of toys that you see on Facebook.

I’m a little bit pessimistic frankly you know given LinkedIn tensions to really control their network and the users and the information on the network. I’m pessimistic that they’re going to open it up in a way that allows people to do innovative and interested things.

Dave:  … I mean I have a couple of hundred Facebook connections, and oh gosh, well into the multiple thousand connections at MySpace and it’s just so interesting to see how they’re different.

So on Facebook, for example, I’ve tended to try to only connect to people I know, but it’s really really hard to hold that line, and if I go and look through my Facebook connections, there are many people where I just look and say “Who is this person?”

On MySpace it’s way out there, on MySpace honestly the vast majority of people I’m connected to I have no idea who they are nor would I particularly want them knocking on my door.

And that is just part of that culture. And you know, so what I’ve been writing about on from LinkedIn’s perspective and such it’s just what differentiates all of these. And from a business perspective, where should you be and what should you expect and how can you most successfully interact, you know in other words what are the best practices.
