It's certainly an interesting subject to think about and fundamental to how we live our lives now and in the future as the digital world becomes ever more intertwined with the physical one.

I think at the moment I am really interested in the signals we send through the identity we create for ourselves online.

I am sure I will revisit this subject again in the future.

identity as the members of your community think of you …

identity in our own mind in terms of how we define our self to our self …

you deal with the first as you talk about selecting an avatar, an image …

the second can be seen if you follow people in a social network site such as friendfeed, the role they play in conversations, or the personality they emanate through their words and images …

the third one is the important one in terms of personal growth .. how do we define ourselves, who do we let define us (are we consumer, or co-creator, with a brand or a service) … do we think of ourselves as limited, or powerful? empty and in need of diversion, or full, capable of expression and contributing?

how do we expand our identity? how big is our “we” when we indicate who we are identifying with? (only our gender, or race, or religion, or country, or sub-group, or more univerally?)

it is a great topic, thanks for bringing it up …

i will offer a hypothesis, that the larger our identity the happier we are … corollary for business, the wider your identity, the more inclusive, including customers and vendors, the more successful you will be …

blah blah blah ..

enjoy, gregory
