Talk:Sam Lu

Comment by Kelsey Toporski:

Hi Sam,

I thought you did a great job! I was entertained, which I did not expect from this type of article. I like how you talked about the different outcomes of Sam vs. Samantha online and how those tie back to your personality in real life as well. I thought you hooked the reader well in the beginning, and kept it entertaining throughout. I also thoroughly enjoyed your analysis of your past and present social media use, I think first and foremost because I can relate to them so well. I, too, was an annoying 14 year old on Facebook.

On the formatting side, I thought your sections were well thought out and unique, but I’d suggest throwing another space in between paragraphs just so it’s a little easier to go from paragraph to paragraph. The space wiki provides is small enough that it makes it look like one big paragraph to the reader.

Overall I thought it was genuinely great!

Hey Sam,

I really enjoyed your article! The beginning was really interesting. I enjoyed hearing about how your social media use has dwindled over time, and how it started relatively late compared to some others. Your analysis of how that affects your digital footprint was interesting to follow. Your analysis of your younger Facebook self was interesting, and I liked how you analyzed the typing style of young Sam compared to the typing style of current Sam and what that means. I also thought it was interesting to hear about the other Sam Lu's out there.

Overall, I think your article was very well written and easy to read. I think that it might be interesting to hear a recap of the kind of person that is found by following your digital footprint as a conclusion, however your article was very good and I enjoyed it!
