Introducing: Miss PacMan (Topic 1 number 1)

Hello Everyone :)

My name is Miss Pac-Man and i was born on May 22 1980 by a Japenese game designer Toru Iwantani. My name, Pacman derived from the Japanese slang word "paku-paku", which means "to eat".  I am described as a yellow, pie shaped Pac-Man creature with a bright red bow and lips. I travel around a maze with a dark blue background trying to munch dots and different types of fruit (Rosenberg, n.d). I avoid four terrifying different coloured ghost monsters named: Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde (Rathjen, n.d). My goal in life to pass and succeed each level or phase that appears. I am able to find information about myself online, on all sorts of different websites for example: http://history1900s.about.com/od/1980s/qt/Pac-Man.htm. The biggest area online that I, as Miss Pac-Man have participated on is through social networking via twitter and facebook for example and through media networking via for example: www.weheartit.com. My digital footprint has appeared all over the world which started in Japen, then spread quickly to the USA. Here are some examples of my digital footprint: http://worldsbiggestpacman.com/ , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man  , http://www.sploder.com/games/members/sheperd81/play/pacman-worldwide/ and many more.
