An interesting blog Lawrie. When I reflected on this I realised I have some degree of separation between different online personas, but that these were highly “enforced”. The biggest separation is in email where I have “work”, “personal (and personal “professional”)” and “general purpose” spread across three accounts. LinkdIn is entirely professional but both work and personal, Twitter covers both work and personal/professional, and Facebook covers everything. On forums, I have a strict “non work” persona/identity which is separate from my “real world”/”professional” identity although much of what I do on forums I would regard as professional as well as personal.
