Facebook Analysis Pt. II

So based on my previous post about the tools to create an online identity, here are 3 examples from my pool of friends (and whatever the choose to let me view on their profiles).

Profile #1 -

Friends - 846 and counting. Groups - 38+ (mainly student organizations or community involved groups and student politics). Photos of this person, that is not theirs but they have been tagged in by others - 1179 and counting with 74 photo albums. Fan pages show their interests and where their support is - Happyslip, Beau Sia (youtube entertainment), Obama (political interest), Starbucks (for fun?). Without going into further nit-picking detail, this friend of mine does not update their status update that often, but other parts of their profile show that they are a very social/outgoing person with a large network of friends and/or connections. This person is opening themselves to a very large audience. Their information page is also filled out sufficiently to show their general interests and their wall show a steady flow of comments.

Profile #2

Friends - 39. Groups - 1 (Denver Job Board). There are only a handful of their photos with their significant other, their information page gives very little information and the birth year is obviously and ridiculously older than what their real age seems to be. The majority of activity are photos and some FB game. This person does not seem very concerned with using FB so much for anything but one of many means to stay in contact with close friends, but especially their significant other.

Profile #3

Friend - 505. Groups - 27 (wide variety of interests). Information page is sufficiently filled out. There are a moderate number of pictures for a typical FB profile (tagged in 174 photos and 10 photo albums). This friend has a tab for "Causes" where they participate in a handful of causes, and their status is updated routinely (at least once a day) where there will always be threads on comments on each. This friend is very active in the community and is politically engaged, and their profile shows this, as well as other aspects of their identity.
