Live from NewMediaCincy
April 5, 2008
We’re live at the new media cincinnati meetup in Cincinnati.
Right now Krista Neher is talking about the break down between personal and professional lives. She wrote a post last week discussing these alternate personas and is talking now about her strategy of balancing what her publishing in different venues to give a better, balanced picture of herself. She views this as more effective than trying to hide who you are and creating different personas in different places (i.e. professional on LinkedIn, personal on Facebook).
Chris Bergman started talking about how we have to think about ourselves as a personal brand which reminds me of a post that QueenOfSpain did last week.
D.JosephDesign just talked about how he is looking at merging his identities.
And Daniel Johnson Jr. just brought up the idea of remaining anonymous.
Overall there seem to be a lot of different thoughts on the topic and the difficulty of maintaining multiple online identities.
Ok, now we’re breaking up to do socializing - see you later!

Yeah, so I decided to definitely merged my multiple identities on the basis that I’d more likely develop relationships be referring people to the Ramen Noodle than referring them to my professional site, D.Joseph Design.
