World Leaders and Social Networking

Welcome to your first homwork assignment!

As discussed in class, I am asking that you create an online Social Networking profile using myspace.com. You are to select from the personalities of the world leaders we mentioned. Some are listed here:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Fidel Castro
Vladimir Putin

Remember our discussions regarding what goes into an online profile:

Create a screen name
Would this person list their birthdate or age range? If so, would it be accurate or embellished?
What type of picture would this person use to portray their personality? Would it be a recent photo, an old photo, an icon, an avatar, etc?
What political or religious views might be conveyed in the profile?
Is this person married, single, divorced? Would he or she tell the truth lie about his or her status?
What privacy settings would this person use to control this profile? Would he or she allow open access or require selective availability?
