MIT Media Lab's Personas

Personas is an interesting project by MIT Media Labs that provides you with a visual representation of the use of your full name online. It really is an aggregate of all people by that name so it’s more interesting in an artistic and an infographical sense. I created one for " Marc Lehmann " as an example. MIT’s detailed explanation is as follows:

Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, recently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab (Please contact us if you want to show it next!). It uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait of one’s aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.
