Facebook analysis assignment

Choose 3 of your "friends" facebook pages and for each, analyze how that person is performing their identity via their facebook page.

Consider the following questions and write up your observations for each profile as your blog post for this week:

How frequent and timely are their status updates?
Who or what are their friends?
What groups are the in?
What their profile pics like? (what are they of and if they are of the person how are they portrayed?)
What quizzes and other "games" participate in and post the results of?

For those of you who were not here, the point of this assignment is to get outside our normal way of looking at Facebook and to test out some of the ideas set forth in the reading about identity performance online.
