I was every interested in what you sai...Hi Aaron, <br /><br />I was every interested in what you said about self-identity, and how many of us tell our own stories through social networks. I found your blog easy to follow as you had tied it well within this week’s lecture and readings. You mention that on your network, StumbleUpon, you are not the only person constructing your identity. I found that when you had said this it reminded me of the same concept that Ariella was explaining in the lecture, “that your virtual network isn’t the only place that constructs your identity” (Van Luyn, 2013), which you mentioned earlier on. Though, by what you have described so far within your network appears that you still hold some power over how you can construct particular things, which allowed me to think of what McNeill’s (2012) had mentioned, “that the networked self must be searchable, able to be found on the network”. So maybe our construction of our self-identity can be found through certain points where many can find it useful to research? Though I am not familiar with you social networking site so I look forward to seeing how you relate it back to each, weekly content. <br /><br /><br />Reference List:<br /><br />McNeill, L.(2012).
