My online profile presentation

Online IdentityWho am I online?

Who am I?

pretty multi-faceted and that’s really what I’m aiming for.

a mixture of formal and informal, as I’m trying to reflect not only myself, but also the work I do.

not aiming to be too professional

I’m still a student, and I’m still learning, and I want my online presence to reflect that.

Still a student

The Competition

somewhat less serious than those in the media sector as I simply do not have the information to back it up

most online personalities base their online lives, identities and reputations around their jobs, which can be quite niche. For example, Tom Ballard is all about youth-issues and political satire and occasional racism (topical!) and Perez Hilton is exclusively celebrity gossip

do not have to limit myself

My Platforms

I’ve tried to make each of my platforms equally interesting in their own right.

Platforms

I have attempted to ensure that each platform I use is being fully appreciated, is reflecting my personality and not used as a subsidiary service for others.

How do I use Facebook? This is a practice I apply to all my platforms

How has my twitter evolved?

I merged these ideas of what my twitter could be into one cohesive unit

Whom I’d like to be…

How do I feel about my profile?

I think that I access greatest coverage by focusing my efforts on a few services, rather than spreading myself too thin on everything that’s out there

I focus most of my efforts on the broad spectrum platforms with supplementary accounts

The main difference between my profile and most others? No photos!

Why?

tumblr for sharing and reblogging images

How will I change?

I would like to modify my identity to ensure I am fully engaging with all the media that I could

I am not a visually-inclined media maker

More documenting my life than photographic art

Because my style is not so visual, I chose not to be cool and use glos.si like the rest of the class, and instead stuck with flavors.me which I think suits my identity much closer as it very streamlined and compartmentalized which allows me to show which services I use for which functions of my life.
