4605 Personas [Flash]
Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab. It uses sophisticated natural language processing to create a data portrait of one’s aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.
Personas scours the web for information and attempts to characterize the person – to fit them to a predetermined set of categories that an algorithmic process created from a massive corpus of data. The computational process is visualized with each stage of the analysis, finally resulting in the presentation of a seemingly authoritative personal profile.
Make sure you enter your full name in the search. I have found it quite accurate.
