I agree with this 100%, since

I agree with this 100%, since looking at a specific medium or time period goes against everything we talked about in the beginning of class, and I think categorizing by theme and contrasting mediums would be more interesting.  I "voted" for graphic novels but really would rather look at other things in addition to graphic novels.  For the first half of the semester, we didn't JUST talk about blogs; we also talked about message boards, profile sites, databases, copyright issues, online academic essays, and the internet in general.  So why restrict ourselves?

Exploring the way identity is explored in different mediums would help us to understand how we form our own online identities, something we discussed before.
