Talk:David Schindler

Annabel Allen's Comments:

Hi David, this article did a good job of covering your digital presence from the persona you hope to project on the internet, to information that may represent you. The order of your sections flowed well and your voice really came through in the writing. I also found interesting your points about how the internet can be both impermanent and permanent and how little control we have over it. My grandpa's obituary also turned up in my searches and since he was never an internet user, it is probably the only thing online that shows a little bit about who he was as a person. I found it kind of comforting that this tribute to him could be lasting on the internet in a way that was attached to me.

Overall you made some good conclusions about your data and how it compared to what you expected and what you actually wanted shared about you. It seems you have a pretty good handle on your online identity. In a revision, I would be interested in you elaborating a bit more on how you feel this current online representation of yourself compares to who you really are. Additionally, the section "Googling My Name and Town" could perhaps have been broken up into two sections: one on the disappearance of data about you that you expected to be permanent, and another on the way the appearances of your dad in your searches of yourself showed permanence you may have not expected.
