How to Manage Your Online Identity

If you’re on Facebook or Twitter; if you’ve ever posted a video on YouTube or Vimeo; if you’ve posted an online resumé on LinkedIn–you need to worry about managing your online identity.

As social media sites grow, so will your involvement with them. You will become more “embedded” into the web culture. Unfortunately, this is not up for debate. If you’re not managing your online identity, someone will be managing it for you. There are some funny “@FakeSoAndSo” on Twitter (@FakeJohnPiper is my personal favorite), but what happens when someone claiming to be you isn’t so nice as to distinguish their falsity?

Enter: The digital business card. You can see mine by going to Card.JustinWise.net. I put this URL in all of my email signatures to let people know where they can find me online. An easy way to manage my identity online.

It’s simple. It’s sleek. It works like it’s supposed to. Slick.

The purpose is to provide an endorsed location of all the places where I “reside” digitally. Sort of like a “I’m Justin Wise and I approve this hyperlink” type gig. A one-stop shop for people who are looking into what I’m up to on the web.

Do yourself a favor and grab the DBC theme. Buy a “yournamehere.me” address, install WordPress and rock that baby like it’s your job. Your online identity will thank us later!

    Beautiful! In fact, I am currently working on this quite literally as I type this comment. Sammahlstadt.com is coming soon, which you advised a while ago :) and with that, I will launch an integrated and efficient online identity. Thanks, as always, for stepping out and making it happen. Then helping us get caught up! You. Are. The. Man.
    Grace and peace bro!
