Profile Observations

Married Man

When looking at this friend’s site he includes information such as married status, who his kids are, and his profile picture is of one of his daughter. It is interesting because there is something to be said of the fact he doesn’t use his own picture for his profile. He also makes a lot of status updates on his wall. There are about as many status updates as other posts from other people. In my opinion this goes to show that he spends more time on his own profile then people spend looking at his. Or he is trying to get more people to view his profile by posting his own comments.

Female College Student

This friend of mine has a profile picture that is of her in a dress. It is in a portrait style. This is one that makes more sense because it is actually of her. This shows how she cares more about how people may see her when they first click on her profile. She doesn’t give any information about herself other than her birth date. She does focus on having many photo albums. She has over 65. This makes me think that she really cares a lot about the perception people have of her through photos.

Female College Student

This is another interesting profile. This friend is a freshman who came into college with an out of state boyfriend. She uses his picture as her profile picture. Maybe this is being used as to make sure that others know she is dating? In a way it could represent the insecurities that both of them have of being away from each other and now being in college. She also has over 1,000 friends. Clearly she doesn’t know all of these people.
