Comment #1: Hey William!
I now see why you could relate so well to my avatar post. We indeed have a lot in common in terms of the progression of how we post. I too posted quite regularly when I first joined but am now much more selective with what I put up. Perhaps as you get older you realize that not everyone really cares about your every doing of every day. I liked your section on your Facebook family, especially your analysis of how most of this family was actually friends rather than blood relatives. And of course, girlfriends right? I'm sure you would agree that your Facebook presence (much like mine) would probably be non-existent if it wasn't for the girl in your life. One suggestion I have on your post would be, if possible, to lengthen out the elderly section. I personally found that section to be quite intriguing despite how short it is and it would be interesting to read more about your thoughts on how you think your Facebook activity and your avatar will change going forward in life and having perhaps more experiences that you would be willing to share on Facebook. Overall, I enjoyed reading this post a lot. The good narration and analyses makes it quite relatable, at least in my case. Good work!

William, great read! It was amazingly easy to relate to your Facebook experiences. I too only have 3 profile pictures and it's funny to see my progression in them over the last 8 years. The way you structured your avatar was really autobiographical, kept my attention, and really made me stop and think about how my own profile experience compares. I really liked how you went into depth on the residual underlying effects of some of the posts you made on Facebook. For example, the post, "Accepted into Michigan, and they win against Kansas. Its been a good day!" and the thoughts about how it could have effected some of your other classmates made me think about the same circumstances in my life. During the time of college acceptances in High School, my classmates', some who i didn't even remember adding on Facebook, statuses constantly were blowing up with "Got into X" or "Proud to be Y". Personally, I was deferred when I first applied to Michigan, and clearly remember how hard it was to go on Facebook and see all the statuses of friends who got in. You put a lot of work into this avatar and it really shows in how easy and exciting it is to read and stay involved in. Good luck finding that new profile pic!!
