Talk:David Silverman
Margot Siegel's Review of David Silverman's MediaWiki Article:
I found this wiki page to start off very strong and grab my attention. It was interesting to start off by explaining all the things that were found when searched online. But one of the most intriguing aspects of this introduction was the fact that you spent time explaining why it is hard to find information about you online since your name is fairly common especially in a big city such as New York City. The tie back to data brokers being able to easily find more accurate information on you was a good way to connect this on a larger scale to privacy. I would have liked to read more about how this made you feel that if you were to pay for more information, there could be a lot more information found on you. The fact that you found this information online to not be an accurate representation of yourself is interesting and should be expanded on. In addition, there were several spelling errors. Overall, this was a good post, but I would love to read more in depth about how you felt about all of this online privacy.
Will Godley's Review of David Silverman's MediaWiki Article:
David, this is a great piece! You did a great job explaining your initial search results and why you think you found your specific results. I find it interesting that a majority of your online persona is around your professional development, but it is difficult to find because you’re from New York City. I personally found the most information about myself when I added my hometown to my search, which is a small town in Rhode Island. This is an interesting point as to how hard it is to be noticed online in NYC before you’re extremely successful. I do think that you should spend more time discussing the differences between your online and real persona, as well as ethical issues related to the differences. You have a good start, but I think you should expand the conclusion. I thought it was very interesting that you found your professional information and said that it didn’t really represent the real you. Maybe spend some time diving into analysis of that. Keep up the good work!
