Digital Identity: Reflective Post

My Initial Stance Personally I feel that presenting yourself consistently and authentically online holds precedence over anything else. Others being able to find and connect with me easily is also very important. But I recognise that this isn’t the case for everyone in the digital sphere… After looking at research by Rawlinson (2013), I understand that there can be unintended consequences due to professional and personal profiles overlapping, such as with Justine Sacco (see figure 1).

A reflection on multiple identities

I have enjoyed writing about this weeks topic which has focussed on the benefits and drawbacks of having a single online identity against multiple personal or professional ones. Identity theft: Stephanie’s comment on my own blog raised certain issues about professions which cross over online identities. Continue reading →

The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Online Identity

So, it turns out I’m lazy. I’m getting stressed just thinking about having to create and maintain multiple identities online. I definitely couldn’t maintain the multiple identities that Tom suggested to me in his comment (van Dijck, 2013)! But, having discussed with Sam about how future employers might be able to find my social medias, I can see why it may be better to operate anonymous or multiple accounts across my social platforms.

Identifying my Identity

This week I was much happier with the content that I produced. I took on board the comments about having headings on my blog and made them work this week – compared to previous weeks where I think they interrupted the flow of the blog. My main focus of improvement this week was making sure that all of the infographics/multi-media I put on my blog were self-created. While I managed to achieve this, I only used infographics and a power-point presentation. Continue reading →

Reflection: Business and Personal – one and the same?

It is remarkable to me that we are already nearly at the end of this module (almost as remarkable as the fact we’ve had only two lectures in that time!). I really enjoyed writing about and exploring this topic, as it has lots of practical use for me, as I utilise many social media accounts and channels but have never really thought about why, or how I do so. Reading other people’s posts was great, as I managed to get an understanding beyond just my own research. Continue reading →

Online Identity: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

We all create different versions of ourselves online, either because we want to hold back from oversharing or because we want to match our image to the platform we’re using.     I choose to adapt what I share online.

I created all types of identities, ranging from completely anonymous to mostly authentic. I do this so that I can separate my interests from personal profiles, which has been discussed by many prominent figures (Krotoski, 2012). Continue reading →

Are you having an online identity crisis?

Ever since internet access has been facilitating the formations of our online identities, it’s become difficult to maintain a clear distinction between the personal/private and the public (Preston, 2014). This is evidenced by the increasing amount of individuals losing their jobs due to regrettable posts (Warren, 2011). Continue reading →
