I maintain a baseline persistent identity across all the above identities such as name and employment. Depending on the requirements and appropriateness of each online community above will depend how much information I give. Due to Griefers and spys , personal information such as home address, phone numbers and financial information is hidden.
Exercise 5.2
1. Social architects are designers of an environment for human interaction.
2.
| Community | Objective | Rules | Features |
| Photograb | A game where you can admire shared photos by finding objects on photos whilst being timed. | Simple. A little tutorial guides you quickly through to start the game. Each level you achieve lets you add your own photos from Facebook and create your own game. | Sign in as a Facebook member and your profile shift across to Photograb so you don’t have to create a new identify. |
| Whyville | Its like a children’s version of Second life. Children learn the skills of communicating in online communities with simple rules of engagement. | The Safety Tools icon provides clear rules on behaviour in Whyville. Parental permission and a chat licence is required before children can join. | Creating your own cartoon profile was fun and allowed freedom to represent yourself . |
