Having said that, when answering emails etc. I use my real name as I figure it ads a personal touch. <abbr><em>Sire’s last blog post..<a href="http://wassupblog.com/the-10-stages-of-a-twitterer/">The 10 Stages Of A Twitterer</a></em></abbr> Andrea I agree with you 100% but in my case I prefer to use Sire (or for twitter it’s AussisSire as Sire was not allowed) when using social media as it has more credibility than my actual name.

The transition to using real names and being more careful about what I share has been an interesting evolution. I think using multiple Twiter feeds and personas is a good idea in theory, but I always find it slightly "schizophrenic" to manager too many identities and accounts... even I keep the persona the same, just looking after the multiple streams takes a lot of energy. Just like with multiple domains -- usually / generally -- I think simpler and more consolidated is better, especially if a client is new and just trying to grasp it. One account might be all they can handle the "customer service" for. <abbr><em>Brett Borders’s last blog post..<a href="http://socialmediarockstar.com/how-to-get-recognized-in-social-media">How to Get Recognized in Social Media</a></em></abbr> When I first started using social media, it was more or less illegal (no free e-mail or public ISPs) so the idea that you should use a pseudonym was ingrained in me pretty deeply.
