I will be adding a screen shot of the Facebook pages I created. These pages were created to see how many people would accept friend requests from people they don't know. The first page is Carrie Stevenson who has 79 friends. The second is Tyler Millard who has 51 friends. All these friends do not know who Carrie or Tyler are. These are the links for their profiles, but I will upload the screen shots.

Creative Gallery Thoughts

Since my project is about having impersonal relationships and being anonymous on the web, I decided to create a fake Facebook and see how many friends I can gather. I want to see how many people will accept a friend request even though they don't know that person.

I will create a couple different Facebook accounts. One will be of an attractive female, one of an attractive male, and maybe a profile of a less attractive person. I want to see if people will accept friend requests. I think it would be interesting also to see if men are more likely to accept a friend request from an attractive female, an attractive male, an unattractive female, or an unattractive male.

I have created one Facebook account already and I have had almost 30 people accept my friend request without knowing who I am--more than half of them are guys.

Creative Response to Project

With this project I hope to create something that will allow people to see the ways in which we connect today and why we choose these ways to connect. We connect through the web every day because it's easy, accessible, and we can connect in real-time. But, I also want to show people how we are becoming more anonymous in the ways we connect. We aren't having personal connections with people anymore and I want to show why this is bad.
