Comment Online identity management (Score 1) 370
I heard an interviewee on Mixergy talk about how his company protects clients' brands online and I realized it resembled my own approach to online identity management. He said you can't control what people say about you, but you can deliberately fill the internet with information of your choosing.
I have lots of online accounts and they're all in my real name. (A password manager helps for keeping track of them all.) If you google me you'll find my Twitter, my Google Plus, my Flickr, and on and on. You'll also find that my accounts reference one another. Most of them reference my personal domain, which references my Google Plus and my professional domain. My professional domain references my LinkedIn while my Google Plus points to all my other social media accounts. And I also have an About Me page that points to a lot of my social media accounts as well as my personal domain.
Someone claiming to be be would have a very hard time convincing anyone interested in the truth.
