Online Reputation

For an online reputation assignment, I have been asked to stalk Sadie Moffitt on social media and determine her trends on social media.

At first, I thought it would be an easy assignment because I found her so quickly on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. But, when she didn’t allow me to follow her on Instagram (for a week or so) or be her friend on Facebook (still pending), things became tough. I stalked her as best I could, considering her privacy settings.

One of the first things I noticed about Sadie, from her Facebook profile and cover photos, was that she loved her friends. Almost every one of her profile pictures (see below) has another woman in it. From this, I can infer that her friends are very important to her and that she likes being with people, especially girls that make her feel good. But honestly, who doesn’t love being around people. Real people, I’ll add, not just people on the Internet.

And people seem to really like her! She only has 3 posts on Instagram, but over 1200 followers and all her posted photos got over 100 likes. I couldn’t find much about her on Instagram and to me that says that she’s more focused on living life than capturing every single moment. (www.instagram.com/sadielynnmoff)

Another trend that I noticed in her photos was her love for adventure. A lot of her cover photos depict her outside doing something fun, and again, social. You can tell she’s not one for being bored. All her adventures make her look like someone who can have a good time, but not be too boastful about the places she’s been. And from the looks of some of her photos, she’s been to a lot of fun places.

I also read through her blog posts and this one talked about some of her favorite blogs to follow. In it she talks about travel blogs and vlogs and lifestyle blogs. Because those are what she chooses to read, I can use that to support the trend I’ve identified:  Sadie Moffitt is a girl that likes to travel.

In this same blog post that I mentioned above, she also mentions loving “cute moms’ blog links on Instagram, whose lives look like they are straight out of a magazine and read about what furniture they love to put in their living room.” Sadie Moffit likes interior design. The other thing I found to support this, is that the only two boards on her Pinterest page are “Wedding” and “home.” And her style is very cute, I might add. Sadie definitely has an eye for detail in the home.

I think there is something to be said about the mutual friends that she and I had. When looking through her list, I found that she was friends with my cousin and upstairs neighbor. If I had really wanted to go deeper into who she was, say I had been a potential employer, I would have reached out to them and see what they thought of her.

Continuing with that line of thought, if I was a potential employer, I would definitely hire Sadie Moffitt. She seems to be fun and outgoing, but not so self-absorbed that she posts every day. Her eye for details in the home and social attitude give her skills that could qualify her for a really good job. Her privacy settings also say a lot about her willingness to keep some things private. I hope she doesn’t mind how I have interpreted her information. She seems like a really fun-loving, social, person to be around.
