I really enjoyed your post! It seems as though you were able to find a decent amount of information about yourself. It's really cool that the first link that appears when you Google your name is your Facebook. I also liked the way you discussed the two versions of yourself. I think most people can relate to that, and it was interesting to hear your take on the idea. You talked about the "lack of control" you have over your online identity, which I also thought was a cool analysis. However, the images you embedded in the article don't show anything! I wish I could see them, because I'm sure they would've made your post even better. Also, I think the organization could be redone a bit. Many of the headers contain the term "Online Identity," and I think your article would gain some clarity if you differentiated between these a little. Additionally, I think you could use some readings to back up your analysis/the idea of being unable to control your online identity.

Hi Maya,
I thought your approach to how you wrote your statement was very unique. I thought outlining the many different versions of yourself found online, culminating in what you ultimately believed to be a true representation of yourself on the internet was a very smart way to show the distinguishing factors between different forms of online data aggregation. Your statement flowed well and had a good purpose but it definitely felt like there was more to be written. I didn't feel as much of a connection between your post and the material we covered in class and the readings. You did a great job bringing up the data disparity, and how different sites treated your data, but I think it would be beneficial if you explained more about how this corresponds with your privacy, what you believe about your privacy and how there are many problems with data aggregators collecting data from multiple different people and storing them into one "file." I too actually experienced the same issue, given that I have a very common name, of there being many people for which they accumulated all of our respective data points and stored under a single alias. In general, really try to incorporate the readings. You made some solid points regarding your data profile, and I think using the readings to your advantage could really drive your points home.
