Adrants is pleased to announce the addition of a squad of writers who will join Angela and me to bring you more of what you’ve come to love. Five social media junkies who all met at Emerson College in Boston and now work/intern at Schneider Associates will contribute to Adrants on a semi-regular basis.

Each will bring their own flavor of editorial prowess to Adrants. Mostly, they’ll focus on the proliferation of social media and what that means both to people who have embedded themselves within the increasing social aspects of online life and to marketers trying to reach this hyper-connected, digitally-distributed, socially-savvy crowd.

We hope you enjoy what they have to offer and the insight they bring. And oh yes, there will be humor and there will be fun. There will be Facebook breakups, misunderstood and embarrassing tweets, awkward Facebook Friending and ruminations from John, our 13-year-old “correspondent” who will keep us up to date on all things Club Penguin and other online activities for the teen and tween crowd.

But they won’t be doing this solely on Adrants. You can also catch them on one of their blogs which has been relaunched as a group blog to focus on the many elements of “growing up digital.” It’s called Our American Shelf Life. Give it a read.

And over on Our American Shelf Life, you can read all about the crew: Amanda Mooney, Amy Yen, Will Wheeler, Sarah Hutton, Maria Garcia, Melissa Eddy and John. You can read about Pamela Seiple, who will also be part of the squad and a writer for Our American Shelf Life, over at her blog.

We hope you enjoy the added content and insight they will provide as you tread further into the ever changing world of social media and all media for that matter.

Harvard researchers had 166 undergraduates rate their own pets on qualities like thoughtful, considerate and sympathetic, and the students who felt most chronically disconnected from other people scored their pets meaningfully higher on exactly those three traits, and no others.

University of Arizona researchers wired 79 people with a recorder sampling conversations every 12.5 minutes for four days and found the happiest had twice as many substantive conversations and a third as much small talk as the unhappiest, suggesting the discomfort was never a social deficit.

A landmark study found that Catholic nuns who wrote sparse, simple autobiographies in their early twenties, when they entered the convent in the 1930s, were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease roughly six decades later, with about 80 percent of the low-complexity writers eventually developing the disease compared to only 10 percent of those whose youthful essays were dense with ideas

Psychologists did not coin emotional intelligence until 1990, and Goleman’s book did not popularize it until 1995, so people raised between 1945 and 1975 grew up with no shared vocabulary for feelings, many still improvising one from watching, guessing, and going quiet when intimacy calls for words.
