  Online Identity vs Personal Identity

  I have different names depending on where I am.. blog comments I tend to use Matt` (the little ` thingy makes me different from all the other Matts out there )

  On forums and such I to use the same name, or some variant on it depending on whether punctuation is allowed or if there's a minimum number of letters or anything like that. I can't remember what it was that prevented me using my normal one on Tangler .. maybe it was already taken or there was something not allowed about it... now I use SK for all the stuff I've found via Tangler so you guys know it's me , so Weewar and any startups I sign up for and such

  Other sites where all the names are taken I use my surname because its pretty uncommon, normally add an initial before it as well just in case, my email addresses are all along those lines (marginally so I can later use them for work stuff without having to explain where the name came from)

  I'm not too protective about my online identity, if anything I'd prefer it to be difficult to link all my online names together and back to me, but that's just the paranoia talking

  Is using a Wiki a good form to build a social network?

  I see wikis as being more like a reference page or a manual - an information resource type of thing

  Alternate Methods of Connecting People

  I think I heard something about a patent being taken out for analysing actions in games (especially MMO games like World of Warcraft or Second Life) to create a psychological profile for the purpose of targeted advertising (seems everything is for advertising purposes now)

  So if you spend a lot of time talking to people, ads for mobile phones, or if you explore a lot, adverts for hiking gear or something.. or simpler stuff like adverts for pizza or coffee if you've been in the game for 2 hours straight.

  Doesn't seem plausible to me - I don't like hiking because my feet get hurty but in a game, exploring the place can be useful

  The future of Social Media on Internet

  Internet connectivity would have to be pretty much completely ubiquitous (as well as more reliable at the server end than it is now) or people would'nt switch on the basis of "what if it breaks and I can't access anything"

  I would also take issue against entrusting all my files to another entity
