Recently I have been studying, and thinking, a lot about our
identities online. The voices we have and how we control them. I have also been
thinking about how they change through different situations, different
audiences and even different days.
Another student, and friend of mine, Katie Suffolk sums this
up in a way I really enjoyed reading, she discusses her online persona's and
describes how they change depending on websites and is very open and honest
with herself in this way.
You can read her views on this here:

And if you do nothing else tonight take a quick look at all
your online accounts whether that is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, a blog you
keep or all of the above and be honest with yourself if they are manipulated to
enhance yourself, do they change according to platform and audience and are
they true to the person you are in real life?
