Lupe

For my social media project, I have chosen to analyze the Twitter page of Lupe Fiasco.  I follow Lupe on twitter and I feel that he puts a lot of things up that are deeper than the average tweet. Lupe Fiasco posts pictures, retweets fans, and often quotes others or his own personal thoughts. He also uses the page to advertise.  Lupe seems to refrain from profanity, but is not afraid to show emotion in a tweet. Lupe comes across as very mature, philosophical, wise, and in some cases light-hearted from the content of his tweets. Lots of his stuff evokes deep thought.  Lupe enjoys off beat subjects and bringing them to light. Lupe has a broad fan base and uses his Twitter to educate, advertise, and entertain those following him.

The Internet Tattoo

My life went public five years ago.  Five years ago I became a facebook member and since then my life has been recorded online. I feel I represent myself well.  Although I keep my account private, I still try torepresent myself in a positive image. The pictures on my page are rarely updated and include appropriate pictures of myself attending school events, athletic activities, and vacations. I do not try to hide my true personality on facebbok or create a superficial look. I want people to see me when browsing my page. I feel I provide an accurate reflection. I don't feel I'm responsible to add to or update my profile.   I do feel the need to maintain a good image though. I edit my profile minimally.  I do not think I have set a status in a year.  I filter pictures and other posts on my page because I do not want some things engrained in my internet tattoo forever.  I am currently aiming to become a car designer.  I feel designers in general are a little out there, so I feel that my page is mild in comparison to others.  I would feel comfortable with an interviewer browsing my page.
