Talk:Joseph Stempel

Joseph, I think you did a great job with your data identity assignment. I found it interesting that a lack of consistency with respect to your first name resulted in a more incoherent online identity of yourself. I'd be curious to know how this played out in your data broker assessment. Consider elaborating on which version of your name you typed into the data broker sites you used, and whether the site was able to aggregate information from both "Joey" and "Joseph", or only information from the one you typed in. I also agree with the point you made in your final paragraph-- that by creating an online version of yourself, "you are, by definition, agreeing to forfeit or relinquish information to some entity". Overall, it's clear you delve deep into your data identity and the quality of your writing is great. You communicated your points clearly and your statement is very well crafted.
