Alter Egos?
I’m curious to see how many people out there have alter egos online. This alternate identity could take many different forms. Perhaps you have a second or third blog that is kept private or under an assumed identity. It could be contributing to a forum using a pseudo-anonymous name instead of posting as yourself and linking back to your site. I run a couple of blogs to separate my technical posting from personal posting in an attempt to better target those audiences. Participate in this anonymous poll and lets find out how many of us have multiple identities online:
Portland Tech Twitter
@janetleejohnson pointed me at the Portland Tech Twitter list on AboutUs this morning. It’s basically a wiki page listing of tech tweeps in PDX. Very cool idea and a great index for new people I might be interested in following. Adding yourself to the list is faily easy too. There are some great instructions here. For those wondering how to format the information, here is what I added to include myself in the list:
:[http://www.twitter.com/stuartthompson @stuartthompson] – [[Stuart Thompson]]
::Software architect, consultant for Microsoft-based enterprise solutions. [http://stuartthompson.wordpress.com Blog] | [http://stuartthompsontech.wordpress.com Tech Blog]
The first part :[http://www.twitter.com/stuartthompson @stuartthompson] – [[Stuart Thompson]] includes a link to my twitter profile but is displayed as my name.
The second part ::Software architect, consultant for Microsoft-based enterprise solutions. includes a brief description of who I am.
The third part [http://stuartthompson.wordpress.com Blog] | [http://stuartthompsontech.wordpress.com Tech Blog] includes links to both this blog and my tech blog.
You can use the template above to include your own information by just tweaking the relevant parts. Note that the colons are important. They are part of the formatting syntax for the wiki.
