online social media has exploded in the past five years
there are 100s of social sites with multiple millions
of people interacting and exchanging personal information
every minute of every day all throughout the world
there are many dangers and many different and
very disturbing trends that have emerged
however the most unnerving is the practice for many
participants to have different personalities, multiple identities
it has been documented that a full 80% of social media
users have more than one identification on multiple sites
one ID for a social soccer site and another for a porn chatfest
underground and as anonymous as most people feel this is
there is a reason that most people don't want to divulge
their true identity to everyone everywhere
it's not that they are private people or plain paranoid, no
these people are have a condition known as MOPD
multiple online personality disorder
it used to be refereed to as being psychogenic
- they live their lives only within their own minds
and not in the reality of the real world
and all of online social media has allowed this to thrive
there has been a case that has been recently revealed
where one such person is a salesperson on linkeden
is retired on facebook, a business owner on myspace
a photographer on their own webs.com photo page
a film critic on their own private blog account
a satirist on another blog and a stand-up comedian
on their tweeter account, with, get this
different information on all the various accounts
within each social media site
the classic example of psychogenic behavior
i gotta get a real life
