As explained by Dave White, there are these two terms to gauge one’s presence in the horizontal continuum which denotes the presence as more “permanent” (resident) or like “transient” (visitor). And there is also a vertical continuum that accomodates the Personal vs. Institutional presence, both terms are self-explanatory. It is within these four quadrants that one moves about in the ciberspace, the actual coordinates at any given time depend on the kind of interaction and trace that one’s is to imprint on the network. The position of each box in the Cartesian plain relates to the type of information, and the interaction that takes place. The dotted lines indicate some actions will be carried out that shall expand the presence in that area. There are no right nor wrong placements for the boxes since each one reflects the personal judgement of the author.
