Management-Ally, Part 8: Online Behaviour – Why people don’t behave the way the do…
It has been quite a while since I have written anything under the Management-Ally series. I had in my early days of blogging started the following series:
1. Management-Ally: Topics of interests that would give my perspective of Management related topics.
2. Manage-Mentally: The topics under this heading were usually humorous in nature. It gave my view of a specific management related topic in a lighter vein.
I have decided to re-start writing articles under these headings. Under this Management-Ally series, I wanted to cover my thoughts on Online Behaviour – why people don’t behave the way they do in real life
There is a vast difference in the behaviour of people when they are online or offline. We all have been conditioned to the fact that Internet enables an easy and convenient way of communicating with each other. But these online interactions are not necessarily, an extension of our real life behaviour but a medium for surfacing our deep rooted feelings/actions. A common example would be – You would find it hard to say no to a friend of yours when you are face to face, but when you are online chatting, saying no would not be hard.
My main line of question is - has the Net increased social interactions, but of a different kind?
Why does the same person, behave differently when he/she is online? Taking the Freudian principle and tweaking the ‘Iceberg’ model a little bit, we can get into the different stages and the effect of the same on the user’s psyche.
When a person is online there are 4 stages that will affect his online behaviour.
The Normal Stage
The Interlinked Stage
The ‘attached’ Stage
The ‘detached’ Stage
The Normal Stage:
When the user is online, and interacting with people he/she knows (either through email/Instant Messaging, writing scrap). This phenomenon is predominantly the way any user would behave when in online space. It is usually happens – when you know others, and others know you.
The Interlinked Stage:
In this stage the user would react the same way as in normal stage in most of the instances. However, there would be instances where he might behave in a manner we would not have in real life. Example, in a particular situation, a person may not say no when he is face to face with the other party (especially, if he/she knows the other party); but saying no through an email or message (SMS) would be easier, and they might just do that. This is usually true – when you want to send comments/feedback on articles, blog scrap, or you are using a known identity and chatting in a chat room.
The Attached Stage:
This stage of people you would find usually in the virtual world scenario – There.com, secondlife.com. Also such behaviour is found in chat rooms, where you can log on as anonymous user. Here your behaviour would have some semblance to what you do in offline world. However, you would transgress a lot, and would do be willing to do things you normally would not do. However, if the online space is some place where others know you in real life – you will still behave in the normal way in some instance.
The Detached Stage:
Creating anonymous online avatars, extreme online gaming, geeks who are well versed with the ways of the Internet, and want to have some fun at somebody’s expense are some of the places you would find such behaviour. P2P sites where you upload/ download stuff that are not legal – the reason is not that you want to break the law, it is more to satisfy the ‘rebel’ in you.
Conclusion:
Online behaviour of a person need not be same as their real life behaviour. As a medium, Internet gives the user an option of being anonymous, and thus a reason for them to behave in a manner that will not be similar to their off-line behaviour.
As an advertiser we need to understand, the place, the reason, and the age (number of years using internet) of the target group, before we make ads, targeting them. We currently live in a world, wherein we use the findings of the offline behaviour of a person, and create communication messaging for online medium
It would be great to do a proper research on the online behaviour of the TG, before we have empirical data to substantiate the above theory.

Netboredom: The rise of Internet Boredom
You all might pretty soon hear about a new word : "Netboredom"
Introduction:
Boredom is something that we go through during sometime in our lives. "I'm bored." This phrase is something that you would have used a lot or heard a lot during your life. I am sure, you would remember in your childhood, that you would be aimlessly sitting or doing nothing in specific, and one of the first things you would tell the other person is " I'm bored."
A large number of us people, spend a lot of time on the Net - at work, at home. This number is growing day-by-day. Statistics show that we use the Net for - Mail, Chat, Search, Social Network and visit need related websites (Ecom sites, news sites, general interest sites, work specific sites, etc)... After a continued usage for few years your net usage would have a specific pattern.
However, there are lots of time, when you are on the Net, and you are bored...doing nothing specific... this is what i call "Netboredom."
Symptoms of Netboredom:
1) You have opened a new window in the web browser, and you are staring at the blank page (in case you do not have a default page)
2) You have gone to a common website (you usually visit) eg: Google, and keep staring at it
3) You Google your Granddad's name, to see if there is any result on him
4) You Google your own name (Ego Search)
5) You open your email, and read all the forwards, and spam mails
6) You start searching about frivolous stuff - "what gases forms a fart?" ( I actually found an interesting site, which was dedicated to Farts :))
What to do to avoid Netboredom:
1) You could write a stupid article like this, and keep updating your blog:)
2) You can press the power button and switch off the machine
3) You could create a netboredom community on Facebook or Myspace (Not a bad idea... I should be doing this :)
4) GET UP. GET OUT. HAVE A LIFE.
Cheers

PS: In case, you know of any more Netboredom symptoms or remedy for the same, please let me know - Santosh

However, there are lots of time, when you are on the Net, and you are bored...doing nothing specific... this is what i call "Netboredom."
Symptoms of Netboredom:
1) You have opened a new window in the web browser, and you are staring at the blank page (in case you do not have a default page)
2) You have gone to a common website (you usually visit) eg: Google, and keep staring at it
3) You Google your Granddad's name, to see if there is any result on him
4) You Google your own name (Ego Search)
5) You open your email, and read all the forwards, and spam mails
6) You start searching about frivolous stuff - "what gases forms a fart?" ( I actually found an interesting site, which was dedicated to Farts :))
What to do to avoid Netboredom:
1) You could write a stupid article like this, and keep updating your blog:)
2) You can press the power button and switch off the machine
3) You could create a netboredom community on Facebook or Myspace (Not a bad idea... I should be doing this :)
4) GET UP. GET OUT. HAVE A LIFE.
