Comments on: Why You Should Use Your Real Name On Twitter http://www.sebastienpage.com/2009/01/21/use-your-real-name-on-twitter/ Adventures in Online Entrepreneurship Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:42:46 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Sebastien http://www.sebastienpage.com/2009/01/21/use-your-real-name-on-twitter/comment-page-1/#comment-37933 Sebastien Sun, 28 Feb 2010 00:51:40 +0000 http://www.sebastienpage.com/?p=377#comment-37933 @Madmax Of course mixing personal and business life might not always be a good idea but it depends what you're looking for. Nowadays companies are not looking for employees, they are looking for people. As I say in this article, by choosing to use your real name, you will develop your personal branding, which I think is the main point if Twitter. This is just for business people though. If you have no interest in making a name for yourself, then choose whatever username you want. @Madmax Of course mixing personal and business life might not always be a good idea but it depends what you’re looking for.

Its just a job that might come and go, and mixing her business life with her personal life might not always be a good idea. Debi Carlston might also be many other things, that she might not want mixed with her role as marketing director, and that now she cannot use her @debicarlston Twitter account for. You have made a choice that your name, is your business, but is your whole life just business? Debi working as an employee, might face different issues to the choices you have made.
