Comment #1: Hi! I think your post was very honest about who you are and how you think about Facebook. I think it's interesting because it seems like you have no desire to share information with someone unless you actually have a personal connection with them. And that could be through a shared interest, game, or face to face interactions. I think you've avoided falling into the traps of social media. It seems that your Facebook profile is the most surface parts of you; purely your experiences and basic information and you recognize that, which is really good. This was done with your different sections of "what you see" and "what you don't see". It seems clear that it's not because you are purposely trying to hide anything but more along the lines of having no interest in sharing, nothing draws you to that.

I liked the flow of your post as well. It was simple and got straight to the point in each section. Having only three sections made it really clear what the reader needs to be aware of and by looking at what is and is not on your Facebook at the beginning, your final section of Authenticity, Embodiment, and Conclusions ties everything together really well.

You touched on it a little bit but I would have liked to read even more about your online communities. Do you have a profile? What information is shared there? Do you stay anonymous unless you are having a genuine conversation with someone? Also, you said that you initially signed up for Facebook purely for communication methods. How has that been? Have you used Facebook to have genuine conversations like you have with your online communities?

Overall, very interesting! It's a different take than usual because you are uninterested in Facebook but still involved with online communities! -Lisa Lyons
