Online Identity

My purpose for maintainning an online identity changed as I matured. When I was younger I was all about Myspace and trying to make my page really cool and attractive. I did this mostly to attract friends. As I got older and started college I began to here about Facebook. So naturally I joined because my other friends joined the site. At first I did not enjoy it because you could not really trick out your page. So naturally I deleted the page so I was still a young freshman basically a teen and wanted the outsiders to experience the glamour of my page and Facebook at the time did not provide any of that.
My sophomore year I noticed I began to sway away from Myspace and just did not go on it anymore because none of my friends really were on it anymore. I also noticed how they would know about all the campus events and parties before I would and they would tell me how people send out event invites. So I basically said all that to say that I maintain my facebook now to keep up with school events and to stay connected with my friends.

"You have one identity. The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly. Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity."
I agree with Zuckerberg about having two identities, but at the same time the point of different identies is to separate your worlds. For example I mentioned previously how my Myspace page is my page from my youth and my Facebook page is more of my mature page. These two pages are completely different because I have separated the two Identities because I know most of the people of on my facebook are adults and the ones on my myspace are mostly people I went to school with back when I created the page and randoms. My attitude is completely different myspace is my alter ego. If I am mad then I quickly put it in my status simply because I do not connect with those people the same way so therefore I won't have to worry about someone calling and saying "What's wrong?" Facebook on the other hand I rarely even change my status because all of my friends are recent and very nosey and they will most likely bug me. So in the end my purpose for maintaining any social network is completely different depending on the enviroment.
