So What Does This All Mean?

So bringing this all back to a version of a conclusion, what does all this mean to our identities?

I don't think I or any of us could truly answer that question. Not when the internet is expanding so rapidly. Everyday there's something new to join and be a part of. Everything that we sign up for and log in to use speaks for our identities online and "real." They are the same thing, these two aspects of our lives. And whether or not you are classified as a "Digital Native," our Twitters updates, our Photobucket pictures, and our Pandora radio stations all speak for who we are.

Everyday we leave our footprints all over the digital world, to be traced back to us so we can say "this is who you are."

Examples of who I am (websites I visit everyday):

http://www.blogger.com
http://www.last.fm
http://www.pandora.com

(this is supposed to be the Facebook killer once it's released)

And what does all this say about me, about my identity? What does your list of most recently visited websites say about you?
