Talk:David Fein

Comment from Philip Norris: Your avatar was really insightful as to showing how you want to be perceived online. I think it good that you showed that you filter some things from your online identity only because they may not be understood out of context by certain people. In my own avatar I don't talk about this but ran into it when viewing my history with facebook. I like that you address that secondary elements of facebook are sometimes just as powerful as primary elements because in some situations you cannot control them. I would liken it to when you said you do not post unflattering pictures of yourself but you could not stop someone you knew from doing so. And even if you asked to be untagged, with certain groups of people they would still know that it was you. My final and favorite observation from your avatar was that you showed that Facebook thinks they know who you are because of their ads but they have a great misunderstanding because they are only catering to the demographic that you are apart of which of course does not tell you who you are at all.
