Reflections about online personas

It's also a good idea to read Andy Beal's useful free beginners' guide to monitoring and managing online (persona or brand) presence:

I found this interesting quote from Berlin Fang in the China Daily which seems up the persona problem neatly:

'Our virtual image is not always, if ever, a mirror image of who we actually are offline. Most of us now have a "split personality" problem between our virtual selves and our real selves. But such a differentiation existed even before the Internet.'

Between public and home life; social and work life; authors and their characters - the split personality has always been there.
