In Time to get used to our fragmented identities Bronwen Clune says:
blogs have just become part of the constant fractured stream/identities that we create. I guess they are no longer our central destination site.....Blogs still have an important role, but I think they are just now part of the fragmented identities that so many of us have across a number of networks. ....I guess wanting to hold on to our online identities in one place is an old-way of looking at things Growing your profile in future might mean more fragmentation
I guess that I have a fractured online identity-- they are decentralized in the sense of I have multiple digital identities in multiple networks eg., (FaceBook, Flickr, home page, blogs, twitter) ---and I try to more actively adopt some centering strategies in thoughtfactory. This homepage attempts to 'consolidate' the various masks of my network presence.
Though masks are not necessary for online interaction we are required by some networks (eg.,Flickr, Twitter) to adopt them.
