Talk:Angel Tsai

I really like this creative take on digging into who you are. I feel like a lot of people behaved similarly to you when they first got on Facebook. I know I did! (Timehop likes to remind me of that.) It's so easy to create an idealized version of yourself online, or to only post the details that you are comfortable sharing with everyone. I also like how you touched on your privacy being multi-faceted, including what your privacy settings look like and what you choose to post to your profile. I can tell that you want the people who know the "real you" to be the people that you are closest to in real life. This is hard to achieve in a world of privacy not being a priority for many people. -Emma Fink

Hi Angel, This was a really enjoyable read! I really liked the introduction where you walk through what someone would see if they were to look at your profile page as a stranger. You have a strong consistent voice that comes through throughout your entire post. The part discussing how you originally used Facebook then grew to stray away from this type of sharing was very relatable. The way you so tightly monitor the content you keep visible on your social media makes me wonder what your network is like. Do you accept almost anyone because there isn’t much they would even see about you? Do you have any biases against accepting friend requests from family, co-workers, or people you meet in passing and know you will never see again? Or are you as strict with who you allow to be one of your Facebook friends as you are with your privacy settings? Your analysis of whether your profile accurately represents you in real life is very direct and also relatable and it comes across as honest and self-aware. Style-wise, I like the clever headings and the whole thing flowed well with your structure. Great job! -Caroline
