I have to admit that I have been thinking about this quite a bit lately, as it has come up on several levels:
- My brother has gone through some angst about the thought of his parents finding his blogs.
- I worry that my LJ might have cost me a job offer recently.
- I have lots of deeply personal stuff published publicly in my name, which students/employers/friends have stumbled upon.
- My friendslist (and lurklist) is kind of odd and it makes my brain hurt when I think about it for too long.
I do a fair amount of security through anonymity, too. Sooner or later that'll all become public knowledge as well. That's a little squicky. On the other hand, the reason I write for the web at all is to reach an audience, and there have been several positive developments that have come from me publishing stuff under my own name. (A high school reunion that I wasn't invited to, amongst other things.)
