Facebook Stalk #1
The person that I chose first is a friend who absolutely lives on facebook, he updates his statuses mulitple times of day and they are usually within the realm of emo expression or attacks against other people. He uses his facebook as malicious tool to directly and indirectly attack people or champion for causes. It is riddled with petty drama as well as self-inflating images. There are also a lot of links and "applications" that are pop-culture oriented, mostly tv shows. All in all, this person's facebook is a more flamboyant expression of the actual person; my guess is that this person is afraid to be truly them self in public so the internet is a way to express these suppressed aspects. This user is our age.
Facebook Stalk #2
This next person is a recently married and her facebook makes that very evident. Whether its the profile picture, status updates, or wedding book applications, this facebook scream marriage. Her facebook is also used as a promotional tool for her new upstart design business; she has contact information, business description, and details in her info section. Lastly, it appears that she uses facebook as a tool for keeping in touch with people, especially her family, as most of the wall posts are "how are you", "haven't talked to you in a while", etc. She also has a few quizzes like "what celebrity but are you". This user is two years out of college.
Facebook Stalk #3
My last facebook stalk is of a friend who has just entered college at a art institute. She has lots of "artsty" pictures of her tagged as well as has several albums showcasing her work. It is a very expressionistic facebook, but it seems to be a bit more positive compared to Facebook stalk #1. This girl is all about promoting her art and making an artistic statement whether that is through links or "artsy/poetic/coded" status updates. She is also a political activist as she is friends with a lot of politicians and political movements; she also is a fan of these politicians as well.

I also chose someone that was married, but she was married two years ago, if you would have just looked at her profile you would think it was last weekend. I think a lot of women really use facebook to flaunt it.
ReplyDeleteFacebook does allow for stalking to be easy. Its kind of creepy so much information is out there and so easy to obtain. I too know those people how use facebook as there voice to get ideas across, announcements are another big one and as an arty student myself the last friend is probably more how i use my facebook account.
