Visitors• Using the web for a purpose.• “leave no trace” – the have no social persona online• Web as a collection of tools, expert(ise), search• Private, Individual, Content, Goal oriented ,

converging, quantitative

#SAtech

Resident• They “live” out a portion of their life online; social

latency when offline for a while• Web as a “space”, social, communal • Does not mean collaborative; can be part of a

community but still isolated • visible, nebulous, qualitative, a-work-in-progress,

networked, personal(ised)#SAtech

Institutional (Professional)#SAtech

Personal vs. Institutional It all depends on the context, right? Let’s look at your personal and professional (institutional self) in these digital spaces, tools, platforms, and technologies.

Think about YOU. Not your “brand,” but your values, mission, and true self. How are they lived out online? What does your social and digital persona say about you?
