I was first seen on identifycrisis.wordpress.com on the 9th of September. Facebook tells me that I am quiet and shy by nature. It also says that I am always thinking and that I will always be there to fix things when things go bad. otherwise, I like making new friends, and taking quizzes on facebook and I am still trying to find my way around. The past month, I was involved in an experiment about Identities on cyberspace. But that is over now and I have a lot of time on my hands. If you want to ask me anything or want to now more about me you can mail or be my friend on Facebook. I hope to see you around on my blog! Thankyou!

Who is prettybutterfly123? I came across this Citibank ad which is a part of a series of commercials dealing with the issue of identity theft. Please take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy5jiYWuNKo&feature=PlayList&p=3503BD91664005B0&index=27 and tell me what you thought of it. Has the same thing ever happened to you or someone you know over the internet?

This blog is a part of a larger research project towards my degree at the Centre for New Media Studies, University of Minnesota. This blog would progress through a series of five posts addressing several issues of internet usage. I would really appreciate your participation and response to the posts and the larger issue that we all are invariably a part of. Anonymity of participants will be maintained and respected. Thank you!

This is Pico and I am having a great time at the University of Minnesotta! But Life demands that research projects be submitted on time and hence you find me here I love spending time watching movies, listening to soft rock, running and chatting with friends over telephone. I was never a fan of Facebook but academics forced me into it last week.  If you want to know more about me or this project, email me at pico.carpenter@gmail.com or you can always reach me through this blog or my Facebook account. I am hoping lots of you participate, so please tell all your friends about this blog! Thankyou!
