Ok.. Back on track...

Unfortunately I have missed a lacture, however I am back researching into online identity... What is that identity again, what is real? These were questions I was asking myself-ourselves recently. I am having a closer and closer look on Facebook. How people live their second lives on it... uploading pictures, and kind of voyeuring through otherr peoples lives.. Quite interesting... Myspace; maye not as interactive and as visual as Facebook, but definitely widely used. Myspace is more 'proffessional' one can hear peopel saying, indeed MySpace seems to be good for people that want their on-line identity and their real identies to cooperate. I mean publish their music, make publicity for their films. On My Space there even is the phenomenon of the "London Family". The London Family is a MySpace group, that has started to make a weekly party in a place called Hoxton Bar and Kitchen. The weekly party was called Boom Box.
(It was as it has finished in December, it got overcrowded and out of control)

Boom Box became a phenomenom on a worldwide scale. Becasue of its Fashion orientated appearance and its very edgy crowd, numerous magazines worldwide couldn't resist writing about it. It became the place to be, for people in the Fashion industry, photographers, designers and so called trendscouts... I think that this is another good example, how On-line identity/ On-line community became mixed with our 'real' world....

bye for now...
