Offline Networks: Personalizing

This is the diagram of my offline network; I've indicated how strong the ties are by different shades of colour- lighter the shade- weaker the ties.

Online Networks: Twitter

Last but not least- Twitter, which proved to be unsuccessful among most of my colleagues and leave them dissatisfied, but I am still eager to give it a try as well, we'll see!

Online Networks: Blogger

This is another screenshot of my personal blog followers. For the moment it is possible to follow me via two platforms- Blogger and Bloglovin' and while some people prefer to use both at the same time and sum of these numbers doesn't quite reflect an actual amount of different people, it still gives me an audience big enough.

Demographic location statistics show the variety of countries my followers come from- great multi-cultural network indeed!

Online Networks: Odnoklassniki.ru

As I mentioned earlier, this is a Russian website which works by the same principle as Facebook- you add your friends, share your photos and thoughts, interact with others etc (highlighted are my friends and groups I participate in). However it translates "Classmates" which suggests that it is more oriented for finding people which relate to you through education. Most of the people there are indeed my ex-classmates, people I know from school and also my Russian-speaking relatives and friends. I believe this is not the best source for my given assignment as all of these people are closely related to me which makes them strong-ties, but I will keep this network as a back-up option.

Online Networks: Formsping

This is a screenshot of my Formspring; as you can see there is a function there which enables you to ask your followers a question. I have only created it recently for my main blog, so I don't have that many followers yet, but I hope most of 56 people will get back to me on a question I am going to post.

Online Networks: Facebook Page

Here is a screenshot of my personal blog's Facebook fan page; its statistics show the demgraphic location of people who "liked it" and as we can see they are from many different countries that I have no connections with, which means they joined my network and they are being weak-ties in it, 650 weak-ties to be exact- superb for my research!
