No, I really only want my real name tied to professional activities and a few other areas where name /matters/. Honest.
Everything else, I am content to slip away from the Big Search Spotlight in the sky.
- reidmain 15y agoI understand not wanting to use your real name everywhere. Do you not want to use services like Facebook or Google+ or you would use them if they allowed pseudonyms?
- pnathan 15y agoI refuse to use Facebook, because they have pursued a strategy of sharing data; multiple statements by high-level FB execs suggest that privacy is not a corporate value. Although I've had to set up a sock puppet to be able to see certain pages. :-( I see Google as being a company that values privacy, but inherently knows a good deal more than I am comfortable with. I have accounts on LinkedIn, G+, and StackOverflow that are strictly "professional persona", for the purpose of networking only.
