Using the following question from Jordan et al (2003):
Do you show multiple identities or are you consistent across all instances?
It is fairly obvious, as I peruse my list of online identities, that I am reasonably consistent with them. 95% of my online identities use a variation of my name. A few have been decided for me - such as Interact, SINA (our school network) and the recent Moo login but the majority are my own choice or taken from “suggestions” as I have established accounts at various online sites. I am definitely not good at selecting or devising pseudonyms so I suppose they wouldn’t be classed as very original, however they are easy to remember this way.
What does your “persistent identity” online say about you, and what shouldn’t it say?
Basically, I think my persistent identity says whatever I want it to say. The way the internet is structured I can divulge as much or as little of myself and my personal information as I wish. If required I could create a completely bogus persona and pass it off as me. Of course, that is fine if that persona begins and ends with the internet and makes no impact on life outside it.
Personally, although my persona names are similar, when I create an online identity at a site - usually because I have to in order to gain access to it or contribute in some way - I use minimal amounts of information and often the names are variants. I never use my work email or my personal email to create an account and I hope that gives me a certain amount of anonymity and protection, although I am not sure if anyone is certain of exactly how to do this.
I also find the type of information that I include is dependent upon whether my persona is to be included on a professional site or not. After reading for this subject, I wonder if that has to do with the amount of perceived trust I have in any given site or community? Certainly, in the “face-to-face” world, as professionals, we have both a written and unwritten code of practice and mores that go with the job. Even though these don’t officially exist online - anyone could claim to be a professional - do we expect a certain code from others within a profession and does this change the way we perceive a site or community we may belong to?
