Hey Michael,

Truly a great job done on the article! It was such a pleasure to read; very funny, entertaining, and true. You successfully delved into some issues pertaining to privacy issues on Facebook, made a case and countered them with examples of your own profile. Below is some more feedback in detail, hope it helps.

Positives: Great flow! It was extremely easy to read through because the connections were very strong. You created links between the different subsections, thus taking the reader through this constant flow of thoughts and perceptions on Facebook. Your writing style made the entire analysis more personal, and consequently, more identifiable. I liked how to addressed the use of Facebook for expressing certain things, and how different stakeholders might view it (such as potential employers). This, alongside your view of the use of Facebook as a kind of background-check platform brought into light a very relevant privacy issue.

Suggestions: You did a great job of interlacing personal anecdotes with analysis, but in a way this took away from some deeper analysis that could have been done. What could the consequences be, exactly, of employers being able to see everything? What about parents/family? Why has it become so important to keep those lives separate, and thus, why does this not apply to you? These would just have made an interesting contrast to support your points, just to embellish them a little more. Also, some more illustrations would have been nice to associate with your profile.

Overall though, you definitely got the point across and with a great sense of humour. I enjoyed reading it.

Dear Michael,

I also enjoyed reading your autobiography. It was very well written and flowed easily. You touched on numerous aspects of facebook, as well as the issues that are surrounded in its use.

Positives: I enjoyed how you went into detail about how people choose to use facebook and and how you differ from that. The whole aspect of peoples family members seeing things on facebook was a great thing to bring up since many people are concerned about what their parents see. Aslo I like how in depth you went into why you facebook mirrors your personal identity.

Suggestions: I would have gone a little more into some of the applications of facebook you do not use and why. Also, I would Go more into why privacy issues when it comes to keeping one's digital life and one's real separate, has different factors other than just employment and family. More pictures would have been nice too.

For the most part it was awesome.
