Hi Pavel,

Great job on the profile analysis! Writing it from the perspective of the profile itself was very clever and cute. I like that you used the assignment in a similar way to how you say you use Facebook; lots of drama and...ham. It's clear that you like to have fun and bend the rules a little, which I'm sure makes interacting with you more enjoyable.

In your "Who Am I?" section at the opening of your post, you set up the predicament of your profile very well. Your profile wants to know everything about you, because Facebook is designed to encourage disclosure, but lately you haven't been sharing as much. The rest of your post does a great job explaining how you are reserved in what you disclose, but certain parts of your personality still manage to come through. Your profile does mention that it used to feel like it knew you completely, but it doesn't anymore. This raised some questions for me that were never answered. What did your profile used to look like? When did this change happen? Why did you decide to change the way you shared your identity on Facebook?

Although it is definitely more fun to write this assignment from the perspective of a Facebook profile, a profile has only so much access to your identity, which I know was the basis of your decision to write in this format. Unfortunately, this makes it hard to do a complete analysis of your online identity relative to your actual offline identity. Thus, you were able to cover aspects of your identity that are visible to your Facebook friends, but missed aspects of your identity that are not visible, and your reasons for keeping them private. I would have liked to see a little less drama so that the 'real you' could have shown through more.
