The document discusses the author's online identity and presence across various social media platforms. The author aims for their online identity to be a mixture of formal and informal that reflects both themselves as well as their work as a student still learning. While other online personalities focus heavily on niche topics, the author does not want to limit themselves in the same way. The author has tried to make each platform equally interesting in its own right and ensure each is fully appreciated and reflects their personality. They focus most efforts on broad spectrum platforms like Facebook and Twitter, with supplementary accounts. The author's style is not very visual, so they chose the aggregator Flavors.me over Glos.si to suit their more streamlined and compartmentalized online

1. Online Identity
Who am I online?

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.

3. Still a student

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

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

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

9. My Twitter Today

10. Whom I’d like to be…

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.

13. Whom would I be?

14. Aggregator battle

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
allows me to show which services I use for which functions
of my life.
