Touched on briefly in the first reading was the notion of an online identity. We all Google potential employers, teachers etc. and what we’re searching for is their online persona. As Networked Media students we are beginning to develop our own online identity and that identity is legitimate and public.

Everything we put put on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any social media become public and can be scrutinized by potential employers. Essentially we are recognized by the content we pubish. This social information can be controlled through a blog however, and the blog becomes a helpful tool for establishing and promoting your online identity.
