To compare the profile photos of Tumblr and Facebook and see how they differ and how they're the same
I like the idea of anonymity with Tumblr while comparing social-ness/people per picture for Facebook. However, with regards to anonymity, I feel as though McLuhan's points about privacy and everyone being held accountable for their actions are relevant as well. For example, using the anonymity of Tumblr to escape from a lack of privacy. Also, you mentioned that the number of people per photo was greater on Facebook -- I would have liked to see some analysis of that. What was the average number of people per photo, etc.? For my project, I ended up with a different result from yours. Rather than anonymity, I focused on what is important to people. It's an interesting take on what you found from the photos.
I like the project's aim to compare between the profile pictures on Facebook and Tumblr. It seems obvious that one would expect more photos featuring one's self on Facebook than Tumblr, since the purpose of these social media differ greatly in their, say, attachment to the "real world". Perhaps it would have been good also to compare between the level of curation made for one's profile photo on Facebook versus on Tumblr, and - (out of time, unfortunately)
