3. Visual Media and the
Quantified Self -
The online tools in terms of quantified self that I use
are within the visual media category of the web.
Such as –
Last.Fm, Trakt.tv
Other online tools that I use are in the category of
tracking my interests within lists and used as
inspiration boards.
Such as –
Listography, Pintrest, Goodreads
4. Social Media usage and the
Quantified Self -
Then there are the social media websites that I use
often, they aren’t scrapbooking ideas, inspirations
and tracking what I watch day-t0-day and the
music I am listening to right at that very second.
They do allow me to express and if need be, track
my feelings and thoughts.
Social Media used –
TUMBLR, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook

5. Last.FM
It is a useful online music scrobbler, with
timeframes, album art, information for
upcoming gigs and about your favourite
artists biographies all in one.
Users type in a music genre or a
band/artist name and can listen to what is
related to what is typed in within a radio
format.

8. Why do I use Last.FM?
I’ve used it for years, it allows me to see my
music trends – what I listen to a lot of the
time, my favourite bands/artists of the
week/month.
To look for upcoming gigs.
So I can discover new bands/artists similar
to my own taste.
10. Instagram
A photo application that allows users to edit their
own taken photos with different filters, frames
and blur motion to give that out-of-focus effect.
Users can also share these with other Instagram
users and comment and like their photos.
On the next slide you can see the time frame of
when I’ve uploaded photos during each month.
11. Why Instagram?
It’s only something I’ve started using recently –
I like the sharing factor of the application – The
fact I can follow celebrities that I admire or just
other people’s photos in general.
So I can share with friends and users my
experiences weekly – What I’m up to
To get to know more people as I go along in the
online world.
