Peer Review by Angelica Tome

Seriousness of purpose

The author assessed her data identity relative to the real them. She began by looking up her name on Google, and then she proceeded to adding key terms to the search query to specify and narrow the results. She was satisfied with the information that she found because she is careful about what she posts and she knows that any information that is on the internet about her is professional and what she wants the world to know about her. She didn’t use any data brokers to find any information, once again, because she is comfortable with what is posted on there. A suggestion to strengthen her data analysis is to look at fastpeoplesearch.com, if she has not already, and see if there is any personal information on that site. It is not a social media platform nor a data broker that you pay for, so it would be interesting to see how that is similar or different than the information found on social media and search engines.

Quality of Writing

Writing is well articulated and has a good timeline of the content. She includes what she expected versus what she found, and then draws from the information that she knows about online data identity to her current findings. I enjoyed reading the personal details that have allowed you to keep a professional image on the internet, like mentioned in the 2nd paragraph under the Result Analysis section. I think the reader would benefit from having that earlier in the analysis after your introduction. I appreciated reading the part where you mention that you went into the LinkedIn privacy settings to help conclude your ideas.

Hi Kelsey! This is a very thorough and well-thought-out draft, you have some great writing and research done already that will help you later in the semester. I commend you for analyzing your results so thoroughly, even though you felt as though all the information was surface level or self-published. I too was worried I would find some skeletons in the internet closet but realized there wasn’t as much as I imagined. What is interesting about your Data Identity draft is I feel as though I learn more about who you are as a person through the voice and tone of your writing. The commentary you provide shows me your sense of humor and personality. An interesting take on the final submission would be considering a data broker or seeing if it would be even possible to find more shocking or older information, perhaps a middle school tumblr or pinterest account. I think those searches would require a bit more effort, but it would be interesting to see what your digital footprint was like when you were younger in comparison to now.
