JW CharacterizationJW allows the common page viewer, the friends in eight of her networks, to know more about her than what the average person could assume appearance wise. In her description, she provides information of her sex, who she's interested in, what her relationship status is, and her political views to answer unasked questions others could have about those things. One thing she doesn't offer is her current address, or phone number on how to reach her, but she does list her email address. The information about her hobbies, and favorite things are of a broad range and emphasized by punctuation. She also has many anonymous quotes on her wall, and talks about herself in some detail at the bottom of her Information section. She is apart of 31 different groups of people, all pertaining to a number of causes, except some are similar involving alcohol and sports. The comments on her wall are sportatic in time--days apart. Some topics her friends wrote include recent events, Birthday wishes, catching up, or towards a specific person or feeling. Profile 2 - TSLayout

Observations
-Concerts -Videos -Parties -Planning an Event of some sort -Catching up TS CharacterizationTS offers a little bit less information about himself than JW does such as; what he is looking for at the moment when regarding a partnership, and by omitting his political views. His personal information is a little less descriptive. He lists a few things that he has for favorites, interests, and omits writing about himself. His quotes are from people that are not generalized except for the one sited, "my roommates". He also does not list the year he expects to graduate from college. He omits his full contact information, but provides his email address. The comments refer to previous events and conversations with his friends, along with future plans that aren't distant within years, but suggests weeks. The comments on his wall are split between two days, comprised of two consecutive commentors. His groups are broad in topics, but there are two pairs with the same subject content: Beer & Specific people, not necessarily celebrities. JW v.TS: Similarities & DifferencesLayout

"how are you?" Mostly dealing with trying to stay connected "I called you the other day" "I think I saw your new office and friends" "auntie! What am I missing something" K VDM CharacterizationK VDM reveals even less about herself than TS and JW, she doesn't ever directly apply her opinion towards anything--not side notes for favorites, the way that JW addresses movies. She also doesn't express herself through quotes or describing herself in the about me section. She completely leaves both blank, along with her political views, what she is looking for in a partner, her religious views, or even declaring her gender. She updated herself to her friends by declaring, "Katie is livin la vida loca." Her mini-feed is empty besides that update. Her commentors talk a lot about missing her, and being interested in catching up. Posts on her wall a pretty close in days, specifically about three commentors during a week's time. She does have two of three albums entitled: Newport Beach, CA & Aspen '06, con't--which she leaves open for friends and viewers to see. She is apart of tweleve groups that have similar subject matter dealing with school, music, and food. Profile 4- AGLayout

"hey"
-"psycho!!!!!!!"
"~" & ":)"
-website mentioned
-call, lists number -call, confirm weekend plans -question about profile pic. AG CharacterizationAG reveals the most out of the previous three subjects. She reveals something they all did not: her religious views saying, "believe whatever the hell you want-", which suggests that she is an open-minded and outspoken person--that is also implied as a Liberal listed for her political views. Her news feed is full of photos, new friends, activity on others walls, and editing activity on her own profile, which implicates that she is a very active user. Her music list all pertains to the metal and rock genre, listing every one of her favorite bands, which suggests that music is a big part of her life. Her movies, and quotes aren't as broad, and favorite television shows is omitted. Her "About me" section is long, and detailed about who she is, what she has gained, what she has lost, and what she hates--she also drawns on specific examples to convey it all, i.e. prison visits, vomitting, and concert plans. She boasts about her future, states she doesn't know where she is going, and lists the year she is graduating and for what. Her commentors write less often than the previous three subjects, commenting a couple time each month. Topics usually involve previous conversations, future visiting plans, call demands, and one-worded phrases. Profile 5- LVBLayout

"UNDER WEAR!" "Holy Crap" "fo shizzle"
-"Love that pic!"
";)" & ":)"
-visiting -Applebees waiters -profile pic -school LVB CharacterizationLVB doesn't reveal her religious views directly, but she implies that she has religion in her life by revealing that information through her favorite music, books, interests, quotes, and the groups she is a member of. She also lists RENT as one of her favorite movies, music, and in two of her groups. Her quotes are mostly sited from someone named Kristina and Jewelshanda, most of the content doesn't make sense to any outsider, which implies that they are inside jokes between her and those people. She states that she is concerned about her future because she doesn't know what is coming after her school has ended. She lists her employment information including, time, location, who, and where. Her commentors are mostly different people, with only 1 double commentor. Most of their topics involve answers to previous questions not shown, previous conversations, non-specific subjects such as mentioning the song, but not stating which one. Everything seems to be already stated and topics, questions, statements, and answers are all implied to the subject only. Commentors also are very expressive with symbols and word emphasis, and make short statements about missing the subject and about the subject's picture. Profile 6- JBLayout

"Happy Birthday"
-"sweetie", "beautiful", "girly"
-":)" & "jk"
-Birthday wishes -pictures -plans -catching up JB CharacterizationJB lists her political views, but doesn't list her religious views. She states her relationship status as engaged and lists to who, which suggests the reasoning why she omits what gender she is interested in and what she is looking for in a partner. She lists her activities as Applebees, which could imply eating or working there, but there is no direct statement that tells us so. She lists her favorite music as "a little of everything" and has two television shows listed, which suggests that both are not big parts of her life. Her interests are small: shoppin, talking, and playing with her puppy. She doesn't list the company she likes to spend her time with like the others, i.e. friends, family, or her fiance. Her picture is of two sonograms, but there is no where in her information or posts from her commentors that suggests she is expecting. Also, one of her commentors mentions having a beer and food, which leads us away from suggesting that she is expecting. However, her posts are old, dating back to last May, and the outside eye is unaware if she updated her picture after those posts. Since the posts are old, that also suggests that she has a lack of continuing communication through the facebook wall. |
