How do you balance your online identities?

Loved the video, Erin and Kim. I completely agree with you on utilizing the security preferences established on sites, especially the infamous Facebook. I definitely have certain things hidden from certain people. Additionally, I make it kind of difficult for someone who is not my Facebook friend to contact me. I figure if I need to talk to them, I’ll be the one to initiate the conversation/ friendship on Facebook.

Nice video! You gals do a nice job on all your videos!

I’m just starting into Web 2.0 with some personal businesses. I don’t want to bother my PERSONAL friends and family with my business stuff. So I’ve set up two accounts on most sites and I watch who has access to my personal life.

But LinkedIn, under their philosophy that they are a Professional site, “encourages” users to have just one user id. But not only do I have a Personal side, I have the career I’ve built over the last 25+ years as well as the new one I’m trying to build on the web. So again I set up two accounts – LinkedIn is pushing back. I’m going to push on with my strategy and I hope it works.

Not only was I born a Gemini, but I was born on a cusp with Taurus! I need to get all 3 of these personalities onto the web!
