Long title … but think about your online identity, think about how much control of you have over yourself and your identity.
Vanessa Fox, who might be a poster child for this on Controlling Your Life 2.0…
The discussion, of course, is one that hits close to home, hence the slow updates on this post …
Being out there, lacking a “private life” per se … at least here at conferences. How do you handle the privacy of others in your life?
