World Leaders and Social Networking

As discussed in class, I am asking that you create an online Social Networking profile using myspace.com. You are to select from the world leaders we discussed in class listed here:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Fidel Castro
Vladimir Putin
Ariel Sharon
Saddam Hussein
Kim Jong-il
George Bush
Queen Elizabeth II
Hugo Chavez


Remember our discussions regarding what goes into an online profile:

  • Your leader's name
  • Create a screen name
  • Would this person list their birthdate or age range? If so, would it be accurate or embellished?
  • What type of picture would this person use to portray their personality? Would it be a recent photo, an old photo, an icon, an avatar, etc?
  • What political or religious views might be conveyed in the profile?
  • Is this person married, single, divorced? Would he or she tell the truth lie about his or her status?
  • What privacy settings would this person use to control this profile? Would he or she allow open access or require selective availability?

DETAILS

  • What adjectives would you use to describe this person's behavior? How might this subject's personality affect the information found in this profile?
  • What are the person's strengths and weaknesses? How might these weaknesses be recast as strenghts for an online networking profile?
  • What education, if any, would this character or person list?
  • How might this person describe his or her work?
  • What might be listed under the prompt "What are you doing right now"?

NETWORKS AND GROUPS

  • What other people would be part of this person's network or group?
  • What would other people write in their comments to this person?

FOR FUN

  • What personal info would be listed? Include activities, interest, music, tv shows, movies and books, and fav. quotes.
  • What photos or videos would be posted to the profile? (explanantions can be written)
  • What virtual gifts would this person have received?

I am not that tech savvy, especially when it comes to myspace, but I made a site at www.myspace.com/figurehead852. The answers to questions you posted on the blog are in the bulletin post. For extra, I used a Victorian background. :)
