2. 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.
4. 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
6. Who am I online?
The current media marketing machine
7. 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
11. 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
12. 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.
15. Aggregator
What aggregator do I use?
Glos.si vs flavor.me
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
