Nicole, I like your “paper” a lot. I think you have put some time and effort into analyzing your Facebook avatar step by step and making comparisons to your real identity. I like how you have shown at the beginning that your real identity indeed differs from your Facebook avatar, simply based on the fact of how you describe your Facebook friends as “friends”. I think that already reflects a lot about your approach towards Facebook and your avatar. Furthermore, I totally agree with all points you are making about each of the Facebook elements.
I like what you have said about profile picture as the element that should “demonstrate authenticity”. I also see the profile picture as the most representative part of my real identity and that’s the main reason why I am making sure to show my own profile picture.
You are making an interesting point about tagged photos that can mislead your “friends” or other viewers of your Facebook profile about your real identity. The example of being surrounded with people drinking alcohol is probably one of the bests you could come up with. People like to make assumptions quick so in situations when in the photo we are surrounded with people doing certain things, one won’t be making assumptions that we actually haven’t taken part in whatever is going on in the photo. This way Facebook avatars are definitely losing authenticity.
You have mentioned Map as another feature that has influence on our Avatar. That is something that I have not thought about before. You are right that it requires sharing a lot of personal information with other people. I personally use this feature the same way you do. My map shows that I have been to I think two locations when in reality I have been to 5 different continents and numbers of countries, but I don’t feel the need to share it with everyone I know on Facebook.
In conclusion, I like how you discuss each element of Facebook and how it reflects the differences between you and your Facebook avatar. I think you did a really good job supporting your statements with examples and screenshots from your profile and also you have used variety of features that MediaWiki offers in order to make your “paper” interesting and easy to read. - Jan Konarzewski
