Topic 5 - Exercise- 5.1

My online identities include: csu, facebook, hotmail accounts, zimbra (work email account), messenger.

I think my identity is relatively consistent across all instances – but I guess I would have to say that my work account takes a more professional stance than the other accounts.

My persistent identity reflects my interests and my professional existence. As pointed out by Jordan (et al, 2003) “ This (persistent) identity should be multifarious and ambiguous (as identity is in life itself), capable of reflecting an endless variety of interests, needs, desires, and relationships. It should not be reduced to a recitation of our purchase preferences, since who we are cannot be reduced to what we buy’.
