I would ask then, if she saw her "actual identity" (actions, thoughts, ect.) to reflect her "internet identity."
Buck also turns to Williams (2009), who "discusses the ways in which individuals on social network sites use popular culture icons and references to represent themselves.
Stemming off of this thought, how do you find yourself representing you most... Quotes? Pictures? Songs?
After reading Buck's thoughts, I am curious to find out how my partner sees how she portrays herself to others online-- meaning how she thinks we see her.
Do you need social media, and explain the importance of it in her life.
Will you use social media forever? How do you see it impacting her future? <--- do you take precautions to "sensor" your social media for her future's sake?
Does she feel comfortable with how safe her information is on the internet?
Why do you tweet? What is the underlying meaning for tweeting?
How are you different than others online?
Do you ever consider deleting a social media account? Why? (I think we all have considered it, yet I personally never have deleted a social media account)
If your tweet receives "no love," do you delete it? Have you ever? Why?
If you could change anything about twitter, what would it be?
Would a world without social media be a better place? Why?
A lot of your questions center around your participant's relationship with social--almost like a person. Does she like it? Will she stay in a relationship with it? etc. I think these are really insightful questions. Hopefully getting answers to these will start to help you see how her tweets are worth analyzing and are more than "just tweets."
