Personas

How the internet sees you: Personas from MIT. This is popping up all over the internet, on blogs and Facebook and LiveJournal, etc, but it's of limited use, especially if you have a common name. My legal name is not common, but I could see other people slipping into the search. Someone with my name plus a second last name (a hyphenate!) was especially prevalent in my results. It also says it's designed for a screen resolution of 800 x 600, but with my widescreen monitor, I had to bump it up higher than my usual 1024 x 768 in order to fit the search box in. Anyway, it's amusing in its own way and somewhat attractive. They call it an art piece, not a tool, for what that's worth.
