"Enter your name, and 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.

It's much more interestng to watch it being created than the end result. Watch your own being created. Watch mine if you like. Pick a friend.

Compare and contrast your internet persona to your own self image.
