The document discusses the author's online identity across 3 categories: personal, professional, and university. For personal use, they primarily use Facebook to connect with family and friends. Professionally, they use Twitter and Fango for their job in sports production. For university, they use Wordpress for blogging assignments and ABC Pool for a class, though they find it less user-friendly. Overall, the author considers themselves a passive online user who is most engaged on Facebook for personal connections.

2. My online ID
I consider myself a passive and
private online identity and break
my online profile down into 3
categories…
• 1. Personal:
Facebook & 12WBT
• 2. Professional:
Twitter & Fango
• 3. University:
– Wordpress & ABC Pool

3. ID MAP
• Twitter: used for speedy status posts, a mix of retweets, work
information, current news and affairs, university requirements. ｧ
• Wordpress Blog: more lengthy explorations of my learning in Uni for
IM2 and FilmTV2, mix of photographs and text ｧ
• FB: a personal space with family and friends for sharing news about
my life, things I find interesting, photographs and talking to close
people in my life. ｧ
• Glos.si: My ID hub, linking my blog, Facbook and Twitter.

4. PERSONAL
Facebook is my go to… Facebook, I use
I use Facebook to chat to family and friends, after doing
a huge delete at the start of the year --> I asked myself a
simple question… Would I say hello to this person if I
saw them in the supermarket?, if I answered “Yes” they
stayed, and “No” they were deleted. So I chat to family
overseas, I post photos of my boyfriend, family and
friends at occasions and outings, my circle of ‘peeps’ are
on Facebook and therefore I am, unlike most a Facebook
fan!! I like Facebook because it is easy to control and I
feel comfortable with the site, it’s where everyone is, one
place.

5. PERSONAL
Michelle Bridges 12WBT
Another interesting social platform is Michelle
Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation, ‘club’ I’ll
call it. Web address is www.12wbt.com. This is
an online club to loose weight and transform
yourself in 12 weeks. Where you are given meal
and exercise plans by Michelle Bridges herself!
This is apart of my online ID because I chat to
others who want to nudge a few kg, discuss tips
and tricks and post before and after photos. Bit
different but because it has a whole forum/chat
area definitely included! It’s very own only
community.Very cool.

6. PROFESSIONAL
My 9-5 job is at Channel 7 where I work in Sport as a Production Assistant.
An aspect of my job is to operate the Game Day Facebook page. (link:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Official-AFL-Game-
Day/131923150211571?ref=ts) For this I have a schedule of when I update
it, how often, what I do etc.. Briefly before Game Day either on Thursday or
Friday, I post the line up for the weekend’s show; who is the panelists and
the guests? Postshow I will post pictures and any interesting info for the
show! My aim is to constantly increase ‘likes’ and generally posting photos
is heavily desired by followers; people love the behind the scenes snaps!
Twitter; I use twitter only to keep up with on information for work. I follow all
media ‘big guns’, footy players, coaches, my colleagues and it keeps me in
the loop. I am also the Twitter operator for Wimbledon and occasional
Football games, where I pick out good tweets for the commentators to talk
about, or just to go up on screen in a squeeze back. Twitter is only used
professionally as most of my friends and family do not have it. The reason I
do not use Twitter for personal uses is that I find it ‘not personal’ it’s more
about celebrities, new and current events…

7. PROFESSIONAL
• Fango:
I also use Fango for Professional uses. For work
I also keep a watch on the Fango feed when I
am watching a Ch 7 shows. It is a social
platform where you can log into a show that is
on and chat about it. I log in and voice my
opinion, keep the feed going, post questions
about the show and keep everyone enjoying
the interactive experience. It is quite easy to
use, however it works on all mediums but not
laptop! This can be seen as Fango trying to
make a move to more mobile devices, an on
the go software…

8. UNIVERSITY
• Wordpress:
I use Wordpress for all of my University
subjects which require to keep a online journal.
I understand the Wordpress interface and how
to use it’s functions. It is clear, easy and simple
to blog quickly when needed and longer blogs
with mixed media attached when required.

9. UNIVERSITY
• ABC Pool:
ABC Pool is a social media site I joined for
University IM2 requirements, it really has not
pulled me in so much. But I can see it is a
good communal space to upload images and
videos. Also to share and engage with others
creative work and collaborate with like
minded people or to gain inspiration. I find it’s
usability is a bit more difficult and a bit harder
to get started and find your feet.

10. Conclusion
• In conclusion I am a big fan of creating a
broad social media ID and making a big
impact on different sites to expand your
online profile, however, for myself at this
moment in time the only social media site I
optionally log into is Facebook, because its
where I know, the people I know and I’m
100% comfortable with it’s uses. The other
social media platforms I use are either for
work or university where I have to. I’ve never
been hugely into blogging, uploading videos
etc.. So I would definitely call myself a
passive social media user and a personal
social media user. Thank you.
