About PurpleCar

Welcome to my website, PurpleCar.net.

I’m Christine Cavalier, a.k.a PurpleCar, a writer living in the Philadelphia area, in Pennsylvania, 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 Masters 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 and mother, balancing work (freelancing, novel writing, podcasting, and internet analysis) and raising two young children. My personal podcast, PurpleCar Park, is a place to listen to author interviews, book reviews and musings about the act of reading in our super-digital world. My group podcast with several other social media analysts is called Push My Follow.  In each show we take a serious – but occasionally irreverent – look at the most important news and issues in social and other online media.

Thanks for stopping by PurpleCar.
