George’s new dating adventure began by creating his online profile. I used the web assignment, Storytelling within the Web, to edit an existing dating profile.
I tried to edit Match profiles for about an hour, but they wouldn’t let me see anyone’s profile without signing up. When I tried to do that, the process was WAY too long, and at the end, they wanted me to subscribe. Instead, I used OkCupid, because it’s a free dating site. I used someone else’s profile to start my editing.
I chose to use Mozilla Hackasaurus’s X-Ray Googles, because I remembered how easy it was to use the earlier this semester. I started with all of George’s info: movies, height, education, what he’s looking for, etc. Then I gave him a profile picture. When I was done, the site freaked out and I lost everything. It took me three tries to finish the editing process, but in the end, it finally worked!
