Your online data portrait, courtesy of MIT Media Lab
The Personas tool from the
MIT Media Lab creates a data portrait of your online identity. That
is, according to the Personas site, it shows you the way the Internet
sees you. Enter your name and Persona dives into the Net to find
references to you, assigning each reference to a defined category,
like music and art. It's actually more interesting to watch as Persona
finds the information and slots it into the category than it is to
view the finished result, but the portrait could have some interesting
uses, too. My portrait is above. Try it out to get a copy of yours.
