my online idebtity

How many online identities do you have? What are they?
I have 5 on line identities.

One is Facebook and renren(people people),it's extension of my real life, I input my my favorite pictures and video links to enhance my personalities and to make new friends who have same interests. It's also used to keep in touch with friends far away and haven't seen for a long time.

One is blog for visual studies, I plays a role of a student which is more official and serious.

One is qq and MSN, to communicate with parents, as a child. On the other hand, I also joined in some internet communities about language study and test, gender and homosexual issues and designers and so on. Different community gives me different identities and they are not intersect.

One is douban, I talk to strangers in similar interests or who can teach me.  Because we don't know one another so taht there's always kinds of performance when in this site. And people can rebuild their background and they can record what they have read, what movie they saw and share differnt comments. Many comments are really profational and worth to read. In the site they also can build different organization freely, including travelling, reading, sports, movie, food, volenteering and so on.

And the last one is an artist community.

I'm in the site as an illustrator and share my work with other illustrators. Some of them know others in real life, some don't. It's also connected to part-time jobs or full time job.

In what ways are they different to your "in person" identities?

"in person" identity is full of mix that sometimes hard to separate them clearly that leads to misunderstanding.  Identities on line is more clear than in real life.

What are some benefits of expressing one's identity online?

I can chose to express some of my ideas on site and people can just judge me only through these words and my preferance that I'm easier to build my "ideal" personalities. I can think twice when leaving message on net  and I'm easier to foresee peoples response which make relationships more easier.

What are some risks?

for identies on Douban, there might too many fake information that people don't rally trust each other and just simply killing time on it. Or people sometimes leave perfunctory, even rude comments which annoying others and caused fighting. Too many worthless information wasted my time and if joined too many organizations, I will also worry about which activity held by them I would join in.

few sentence about http://www.mouchette.org/.

She claims that she is a 13years old girl,"she" wrote some secrete,talked about parents and used flowers, erotic sounds, flies and meats to express herself. All information is fake and the author made a fictional identity. If people don't know about it and believed the information, the person who is made in the thin air will become real in someone's mind. It's reminds me about how we remember dead peoples. They are not exist anymore but we remember what they did and their characters, they are alive in our own mind. The fictional girl is also vivid in people's mind who believed it.Isn't it a kind of existence? I wonder...
