For Micro Project 6, my group mates were Dion, Jia Ying and Si Hui.  We were to create a Facebook page and post as regularly as we could for 24 hrs. We were also encouraged to share everything that we did that day with the group and comment on each other’s post. The aim of this project was to explore the idea of digital identity and the different persona people portray on social media.

SIHUI

For Si Hui, she posted a lot of screenshots of her game play in Habo Hotel. Since most of her posts were about a character she assume in the game, she did not reveal much on what she was doing in real life. From this, I inferred that she is a rather private person.

Even so, I thought I was still able to get a glimpse of her personality through the decisions she made in the game and the captions of her screenshots. She has a very quirky way of describing things and it is super entertaining.

 

DION

For Dion, she documented almost everything she did that day (from the food that she eats – places she visits – game play) without much filter. I felt like her posts were very entertaining to read because she was often in some sort of distress.  From this, I inferred that she is a person with a sense of humour even in dire situations.

 

JIAYING

For Jia Ying, I thought that she was a family orientated person because she was the only one that posted pictures of her family member. She also shared with us the songs she was listening to that day, which I thought was very interesting. Generally, I felt that she is a down-to-earth person because there was not much filter on the content she posted.

 

ME

For myself, I find that it was a chore to constantly post something on social media. A lot of times, I would forget entirely about the project and my friend have to remind me to post something. I started out well, documenting some of my routines and activities I did for the day but eventually I lost interest and started to post super random things that has no actual content.
