Comment #1:

I truly appreciated the honesty and emotion in your Avatar, Lisa. The juxtaposition of the story of your Facebook timeline over the past four years versus how these experiences felt for you personally was a powerful way to help readers conclude that often on Facebook, we see what people want us to see as opposed to what is truly occurring. This made me think back to Alexis Madrigal’s “Facebook Timeline: Putting the Auto in Autobiography” which explicitly states that “Timeline -- and your curation of that Timeline -- is how Facebook is going to find out the stories that you tell about yourself.” One’s timeline now truly tells a story, though it’s a story the author arranges themselves. Pieces like yours show one of the many potential dark sides of this – thanks so much for sharing! I think this would be even more effective if you tied in one of Smith and Watson's questions for thought at the end of "Virtually Me" - particularly the 1st question regarding the implications of self-authorship of your digital self.
