I like how you are very descriptive in the different approaches you used and the different results that you get in return. It demonstrated your genuine effort in searching for your online identity and also showed me some interesting results that I didn't encounter when I was doing the search process for myself. For example, I wasn't able to find any information about the organizations that I am affiliated with online. I also enjoyed reading your personal reflection on those search result, such as the conclusion that your online identity reveals different aspects of you in different contexts. I would love to hear if you think the sum of those results can represent a holistic view of who you are or will they still portray you in a biased way? And what would you thoughts be if you do find that your identity online is being presented in a somewhat biased way? Hopefully these are somethings that you can consider in your future revisions. And lastly, it was also interesting to see the search process through the perspective of someone with an international background. I wonder if you may find different results about yourself if you searched yourself on the prevailing search platform in India (not sure if there is one or if you can access to it in the US haha, but it would be interesting if you can). It's unfortunate that none of your inserted pictures showed up, but I am sure it will be a quick fix in later revisions. Other than that, I like your writing style, it is very clear and straight to the point. And I also like how in the end you have a breakdown of your evaluation on different social media platforms and also a summary section.

I found it really interesting to read about your experience searching yourself in the context of your international background because this is something I never really thought about when doing my own search. I also liked how you opened up with speaking about how we tend to do an online check on someone before meeting them because it is considered suspicious to some for someone not to have a presence on social media. It was really cool that you used a different search engine to compare your results there versus Google as many students, like myself, did not think to do that. A little critique I have is based around some of your grammar errors making it a little difficult to read your statement; even though it was not enough to take away from the overall writing of your report, I think it is something to look out for. As Kevin said, it would also have been nice to see the visuals you chose to get a better idea of the experiences you talked about.
