Talk:JD Angerhofer

J.D., Your biography offers a very unique take on social media identity. I find the contrast between your middle-school self, who seemed to view Facebook as a vital platform for social interaction, and your modern self, who acknowledges it as more of a Yellow-Pages-like information source, extremely intriguing. Though you no longer communicate your identity through Facebook, you are still an avid user it would seem. This gives you an extremely unique stance to speak from!

In your revisions, I suggest you focus a bit more on the socio-technical processes that fuel your interest in 'Lurking.' It seems like an area worthy of a much more thorough analysis, and I am particularly curious how others feel when they engage with you online, fully aware that a full, conscious user exists behind that blank profile! Do they feel that this inauthentic of you? More authentic? Where do you feel this profile fits on the authenticity spectrum?

This is a great start, and I appreciate your odd take on authenticity in the digital sphere. I hope to see you flesh it out even further in the next phase!

Best, Sal
