Personas.

Personas is an application that searches your name on the web and returns a profile of what it finds. Check out mine above – it found my online and social presence and all my mentions of books, fashion and art. The fame and sports mentions are sort of puzzling, unless I’m a big pro athlete in a foreign country and just failed to mention it to you all…

Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab. It uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait of one’s aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.

    Ha! My persona shows a huge percentage of sports, more so than art. My blog is all about decorative painting, interior design, painters, and misc. other artists. Oh.. and a little of Portland thrown in the mix. It made me laugh.
