I do encourage people here to use 'usernames' rather than full real names, primarily for reasons of identity theft. However, I wonder how many of us do so for other reasons? Not for fear of our identity being stolen, but also to keep our deep, dark, secret hidden...?
This week, Facebook somehow triggered a connection to a guy I had known in my 'real life'. I have had 3 Facebook accounts, one was my 'real' one... for friends and family (I kicked it to the curb a couple of years ago). Another for my 'real work' one... I haven't used it much either... and lastly a Saverocity one. Somehow, they blurred, and a guy infiltrated Saverocity, when he did, the flood gates opened. I've slowly been accepting requests from people that I know from back in the day, and my worlds start to merge together again.
When I first set up Saverocity I did so as a distinct thing from my 'real job' and I've been trying to figure it out going forward.
In 2015 I plan to launch a Wealth Management boutique, it will be a State Registered Investment Advisory. Can I do so as Mr Saverocity, or do I need to keep this dark secret hidden? I can see the skills and interests overlapping, but does one go too far into places unknown to cause harm to a new brand?
It's a funny thing when worlds that were once segregated combine again, and I wonder how integrated they should be. Do you guys have the same worries? What is it about what we do that makes us concerned about delineating our online presence, and if we feel the need to do so, are we out of our depth in what we are doing?
