PurpleCar

Welcome to PurpleCar.net!

I’m Christine Cavalier, a.k.a PurpleCar, a writer living in Philadelphia, PA, USA.

PurpleCar.net focuses on internet culture and how new social networking tools are shaping our lives. My posts are about the psychology of the internet, our online behaviors and etiquette, and my passion for writing and reading.

My B.S. in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh and M.Ed. in Educational Psychology from Temple University concentrated on human development, lifespan learning and research design.

My career focus has been on infrastructure support/design, systems administration and client support.  Now I spend my days as a “Writer Mama,” balancing freelance writing, novel writing, and internet analysis while raising two young children.  My first novel, Lush Plum, is a fictional narrative about internet life, social media, and how the tools we use are affecting the ways in which we interact with our world.  The book is currently in development and will be available soon.

One of my more interesting projects is the podcast I co-host with several other social media analysts called Push My Follow.  In each show we take a serious – but occasionally irreverent – look at the most important news and issues that concern social media.

I am available to speak at your event about social media, writing, or internet culture.  I also offer consultation services for your company’s narrative.  Please contact me using the info below.

Thanks for stopping by PurpleCar!
