This led me to read papers written by White, where he explored\u00a0\u00a0the concept of a continuum, identifying that people can place\u00a0themselves anywhere\u00a0in between a digital resident or visitor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/freyamumby.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/06\/uosm2033\/#comments\"> Deepbim<\/a> agreed that\u00a0this concept is important in\u00a0identifying online presence, as an individuals\u00a0behaviour can be influenced depending on what they are doing and when. However this led me to consider, if you&#8217;re categorising yourself on an hourly basis, are you not\u00a0simply a resident or visitor? An either, or categorization? This question was instigated after <a href=\"http:\/\/deepbimrai.wordpress.com\/\">Deepbim mentioned in her blog<\/a> about being a resident at a specific time of\u00a0her\u00a0day because of her usage of social profiles,\u00a0and then a visitor for academic purposes at a different time of that day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/freyamumby.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/06\/uosm2033\/#comments\">Andysug&#8217;s comment on my blog<\/a> caught my attention with regards to this as he pointed out that LinkedIn was one of the only social platforms that\u00a0you could place yourself\u00a0anywhere on the scale depending on how you use that site specifically.\u00a0You can join discussion groups and leave big online\u00a0traces, or leave a fairly small trace by just keeping your profile updated and keeping on the lookout for jobs to apply to. With Facebook this isn&#8217;t the case as you&#8217;ll either end up with no friends and nothing to look at, if you dont maintain a social network, thus online traces.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><br \/>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/freyamumby.wordpress.com\/203\/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/freyamumby.wordpress.com\/203\/\" \/><\/a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/pixel.wp.com\/b.gif?host=freyamumby.wordpress.com&#038;blog=76287714&%23038;post=203&%23038;subd=freyamumby&%23038;ref=&%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The terms digital &ldquo;resident&rdquo; and &ldquo;visitor&rdquo; were new concepts for me, before I had started&nbsp;this module.
