Part of me thinks that I should stick to the same username across platforms to help build my personal brand, but it just isn’t always possible.

Depending on the site and usernames available, I use a combination of: kgoodman, kgoodman67, karen67 (Recipezaar), karenstl (Twitter), Karen Goodman (LinkedIn) and stlouispics (Flickr). I think that most social media sites will start allowing you to enter your real name like you can on Twitter, so people will always be able to find you when they do a search.

Still, it was fun to check and see which sites had my real name already taken.

I hate my name. It’s all my husband’s fault. I had a nice unique Italian name. Hmmpfh

Thanks Bill for the link. I find it somewhat useful, but I really don’t want to be on most of these “quality” sites.
