Are you an obsessive blogger? Have you sold your life on E-bay? Are your MySpace friends more important to you than your real-life ones? Do you have Listmania? I'm currently working on an MA project, Digital Me, looking at how the internet has shaped our lives, identities and work. I'm interested in how creative people use and abuse the net to inform and create their work, how they use the internet as a space for collaboration, research and networking, from email lists to online virtual worlds... I'd be interested to find out how your work and life has been changed by online communication. I'm in the process of setting up a website, www.digital-me.co.uk, a forum for discussion and writing on the subject, and have also set up a mailing list for discussion. If you'd like to join the mailing list and contribute to the discussion with your tales of a life online, send an email to [log in to unmask] with the subject subscribe. I do hope you'll be able to be involved in the project.
