Talk:Julie Burke

This is a great read! I love how you incorporated three different forms of social media and analyzed how you present yourself to the different audiences of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You effectively describe the three personas you portray online and nicely conclude that you are all these accounts combined plus more.

In the Facebook section, I’d like you to to touch on audience more- has your Facebook audience changed and that’s why you are posting differently? Has your original Facebook audience of close friends now moved to Instagram so that is why you utilize Instagram specifically for photos and Facebook for life status updates?

In the Twitter section, I am curious who you think your audience is specifically.

Nice job with your post. The airplane seat picture is hilarious. I would stick with this layout because the reader is able to easily get through the post. - Caroline Gilhool

So as I was reading this I realized how similar our posts are. Both talking about the authenticity of our online personas on varying social media platforms. I honestly found all of the sections to be really well formatted. The only real question I have when it comes to the formatting of this piece is why the julieburke15 is at the bottom of the piece. I feel like you could remove that potentially.

I found the section where you talked about yourself very interesting. But, it could potentially not be needed considering it's about online identity. Instead maybe putting more into the other sections is an option. However, I feel it does fit in well with what you were trying to present, so I can see the reason behind why you made that section. This is a bit more nitpicky, but maybe using more intriguing titles on each section, besides listing each section The Facebook Julie, Twitter Julie, etc. This could hold attention more possibly, but like I said that's more a nitpick and potentially doesn't need to be changed at all. I think the use of images was absolutely fantastic in this post and found that it added a lot while reading this.

I found that the grammar was very well done. It was a very easy read. I liked how well the Instagram and Facebook sections tied into each other. It felt like those two were definitely the strongest sections. Overall I feel really the section that needs the most work is the twitter section. Maybe like a more in-depth exploration on why you use twitter as a retweet account. Like say for example, what did you think you were going to use it for when you first made it, etc. Overall though this piece was great. You did very well, thanks for sharing.- Vincent Rogers

I love the way that you started off your writing - it was intriguing and less daunting because of how short and concise your first two lines are. I also like the clarity of your headings, because I know exactly what I’m going to be reading about. I also really enjoyed how you started off with your perception of yourself outside of social media, because it allows me as a reader to compare and contrast with your social media identity as I read the rest of your piece.

In your Facebook section, you mentioned that you had grown up around Facebook and been a social media user for as long as you could remember, so I would have liked to read more about the evolution of your Facebook identity. You did this very well in your Instagram section, and it both made me understand the evolution of your social media identity better, and felt very relatable. The pictures that you included of your Instagram before and after definitely reinforced the points that you were making.

I really liked how you summarized your identity of each social media platform in the last sentences of each individual section. I found myself going back and reading the three sentences during your conclusion to remind myself of what you had dubbed your identities for the separate platforms. You had a solid conclusion and I loved reading your piece! - Hope Chen
