Online Reputation Assignment- Collin D. Sorenson

Dear Collin, 
As I was diligently trying to research more about you on the internet, I found it exceptionally difficult to find a lot of information on you. I started with Facebook only to find two posts on your timeline since 2009. That is a span of nearly seven years. I then tried to simply find  what you looked like only to discover that you have 2 posted photos that are viewable and one was hard to determine if it was you because it appeared to be a bearded man wearing a sequined dress. That particular photo was uploaded November of 2013.  The other picture was very shaded on your face because there was a blaring sunset in the background. A beautiful one if I might add, kudos for that one. I learned from your “about” page that you are single and interested in women, and apparently you have no family—at least not that you posted on Facebook. You have attended Utah state University and Sky View High in Smithfield Utah. You work at The Clean Spot.  
After learning all I could from Facebook, I researched The Clean Spot to see if I could glean anymore information about you there.http://www.thecleanspotutah.com/ When I searched your name in the search bar, this is what I found:  
Image   
Your name attached to everyone of the products, items, or designs for the Clean Spot. From this information I decided that you are may be a big wig there either as a graphic designer, product manager,  or something like that.  
So I then tried typing your name with The Clean Spot into the search bar of google to no avail. 
After that, I decided to go a different route and try finding out more about you by searching your name attached with Utah State University into three different search engines. Still nothing other than I may have discovered that you have a dad named Brent, and either a sister or a mom named April. If you aren't related to either of them then I apologize sincerely. http://www.whitepages.com/name/Colin-Sorenson
I then decided to go back to the roots and research Sky View High School. I was unable too! Seriously Collin if you were trying to be untraceable, you are really good at it. You are OFF THE GRID! (like Jason Bourne, if you have ever watched the Bourne Series) 
My dear friend, you don't have an updated Facebook page. You don't have a LinkedIn. You don't have an Instagram. And you don't have a Twitter. I'm amazed you have alluded this generations obsession with pictures and newsflash updates about personal life. You have successfully escaped the social media/ internet death trap of the millennial generation unscathed and I applaud you for it. 

Sincerely, 

Katelin

  1. I thought the way you went about completing your research was really well done. You started out by going on Facebook, which as we all know is the know-all be-all site to see if you want to cyber stalk someone. Even though the information you found there was scarce, what you did include was quite interesting. My only complaint is that you did not include the picture of the man in the sequined dress.. I definitely would have liked to see that! After learning all you could there, you took the information you had discovered concerning his workplace, hometown, and past schools and dug progressively deeper. There were a few grammatical errors that could have been corrected through proofreading, but overall I thought this was a really interesting post.

  2. Sorry that it was hard to find things on me. I've never liked social media and have tried my best to stay away from it, so in a sense I'm glad that you weren't able to find out that much about me. The bearded man in the sequined dress was me, I was the prom queen of The White Owl (the bar that I worked at) for Halloween. You were correct that Brent is my dad and April is my mom. I own the Clean Spot and I'm glad that you found that my name was attached to all the photos because I need to change that. I thought that the way in which you continued searching for me was a good technique and am sorry that it was such a challenge to find out anything about me. Your blog post was well written and I feel that given the small amount of information on me, you did a great job of using what you had.
