**How would you like to be perceived online? **

 * I'm not really a nosy person, I don't really need to be perceived, I just stick with all of my situations.
 * famous, smart, helpful
 * I would like to be perceived as a funny, chatty and helpful person when I am online.
 * I would like to be a person who is really good in computer and I would like to be acknowledged as a person who is smart so I don't get ignored if I comment on one article.
 * I would like for people to think i am nice, trustworthy, and funny
 * As a cool nice person
 * Funny, nice, talkative
 * helpful, attractive, great, AWESOME
 * As a good person that is friendly

====**If I were a "Fly on the Wall" in one of YOUR online communities, what images would I see? What Would I read? What would I hear? And, what would it feel like to be there? **====


 * You would see my communications and plans with my friends and you would hear modern music me and my friends like. It would feel good since I have a happy group of friends
 * Find me on aim youtube hulu
 * You would probably see me checking my email, playing games, going on facebook, video chatting with my friends, or doing school work. Also I might be on the online TV website Hulu and I would be watching shows.
 * You would see all my friends' posts (sometimes they have not-so-appropriate stuff, but most of the time it's okay), and some funny pics. There's a lot of comments on everything
 * I would see images of other people i guess, I would feel spyish
 * Funny pics, funny articles feels good
 * If I am a "fly on the Wall" in one of our online communities, I would hear that my friends would often be making fun of their own friends. Secondly, I would hear what they like and what they don't like about what they are doing.
 * I do not use the computer as often as some people. But when i do go on, i usually go on aim to talk to friends, or sometimes even play games.
 * Stuff about my life
 * You would mostly see me on AIM talking to my friends and VCing. I don't have a Facebook or anything so I never go on those sites. I also don't like gossiping because there is always the chance that the person you are talking about will read everything you wrote. I also LOVE watching funny youtube videos.
 * You would see me and my friends joking around and being kids
 * See a safe environment

**Describe any difference between your circle of friends in real life (F2F: face-to-face) and your circle of friends online? **

 * My friends in real life and my friends online are mostly the same except some of them don't have accounts on online sites and some do. Also, some of the people I talk to online I don't talk to a lot at school.
 * "In real life its easier to make jokes
 * Online easier to gossip"
 * You don't know who they really are online until meeting them in person
 * I have other friends online that i seldom meet in real life.
 * There really is none
 * Nope :)
 * Really its all the same...
 * I can tell my friends online anything, but my friends outside, i have to be careful
 * Online, people can say things that are bad to say at real life and be a little honest
 * F2F allow friends to know each others' feelings and allow them to become more emotional. However when you are online, you wouldn't be able to communicate with emotion that your will have in the real life.
 * Yes, I have friends from far away that i met at camp, or friends from my town who i do not see everyday.
 * There is none
