  • How do you balance your online identities?
    July 14th, 2009 / Posted by Nathan T. Wright

    As we share more and more of our lives on social networks, is it possible to maintain a balance between the professional self and the personal self? Lava Row summer interns Erin and Kim explore this question in the video below.

    How do you maintain balance across all of your online identities?

  • 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!

  • 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.
