8 Constructing Identity Online Discussion

How many online identities do you have?
I just have two online identity.Sometimes I use my fullname 'Wong Man Ting' on the internet. Also, I use the name of Cat like MSN, facebook because Cat is my nickname. However, there are lots of people who called Cat and Wong Man Ting on the internet, I need to add some number on my name behind to make a clearly identity. For example, I use mantingwong517 on this blog account.

In what way are they different from one another?
Some people may use the fake identities to instead the real identities,because they may not want to show their real identities. They can use different identities on online communication programme like MSN, facebook.

What are some benefits of expressing one’s identity online?

Many people may use the fake identities have many benifits. I can put a pretty photo and name to identity myself. Then, I may be more popular and more people want to chatting with me.

What are some risks?
We can't trust everyboby on the internet, especially new online friends. They may use the fake identities to interact with us.
