Right below "name" is "username." I don't get what the issue is. I'm sure something like writerchic_hayes would be available. @Nancy,

You can change your username under settings. Right below “name” is “username.” I don’t get what the issue is. I’m sure something like writerchic_hayes would be available.

When I started twittering, writerchic as my user name had been out there and I wanted to connect with those I knew from other cyber places. But, it doesn't reflect the who, what, where of me and for that, I'd like now to use at least a portion of my real name. Any advice from others?

I had to remove someone from my IM list on friendfeed because any time he posted a blog entry I'd get blasted by eight messages when he added it to Google Reader shared, delicious shared, mediaclipper, etc. I get five copies of anything that Fair Copyright for Canada puts out. I'm not sure if shutting down a twitter account is the way to go. Maybe choose a dominant id where all your overlapping posts go, keep the secondary id open but only for tweets that are solidly there. Looking forward to hearing a solution.

On the ride home today I was actually thinking of my pitch for you to do a post on my blog LOL . Now to twitter. Like yourself we pull no punches. I don't need to game twitter and get a bunch of followers especially a bunch of self centered GURUS serious. I like real people and real friends. I rather have the 400 followers I have then 4000 lamers who are going to bombard me with their GET RICH nonsense, I had the pleasure to speak with you in REAL life and I can vouch that I rather know You then all those other clowns.

I read some advice to take separate accounts but have also found that managing 2 accounts is tricky. So I will take your advice and cancel my other account. Thanks for sharing.

Not a huge deal, but seems like Twitter should fix this. I get it: the Twitter ID's open now and anyone can take it, but there should really be some system in place when this happens.

I have an open account that is used for more business-oriented, personal branding tweets, and a second, protected account for more personal musings that don't show up in Friendfeed or elsewhere. I also have to work to keep them separate. I've tried www.splitweet.com -- it's good for seeing multiple account streams in one place, but lacks follower management at the moment. So I've got one account up in Twhirl, and the other in a browser. I check the business one more regularly and only during the work day, and the personal one intermittently during the day and somewhat more at night. Ultimately, you have to decide your personal online strategy and use Twitter or any of the other SM tools in a way that's consistent with it.

I think at one point, people looked at the Internet as a way of disguising their true identity. They had their "online persona" which was different (and perhaps more attractive, flirtatious, fun, etc.) than their "real life persona". But with all these social networks busting on to the scene, the opposite effect is starting to emerge. You might have different contacts on your Facebook vs Twitter vs MySpace vs LinkedIn vs Plaxo vs Whatever Else -- but in the end, they're all part of a giant Venn diagram. And it's becoming increasingly easy for people to discover the real you, by finding where all those Venn diagram areas intersect. Great post.
