I use my real name in a lot of venues, but I also use a screen name that's been associated with my face for quite some time. It's all a matter of where I'm residing, online, at any moment.
As far as the rest goes - there is no such thing as mutually exclusive, these days. Ask anyone who has had their text messages tapped, and used against them.

I just started using my real name online. I was nervous but it felt like the right time,and when Robert Scoble said he didn't really trust anyone hiding behind a "username", that sealed the deal for me...

Hahahah, yeah, I suppose that's the proverbial nail in the coffin. Well, Bradley and Mc are all parts of my name. I just keep the Spinn part, so that the "rest" of my world recognizes me still.

Can Social Networks Hurt You? Absolutely. As we leave our mark on the internet in any manner we are contributing to our autobiography for others to read at some point. The content of our autobiography may impact the opportunities we have in the future.
Your social profile can reveal details about your personality that background checks and personal references cannot -- either by design or by protections granted through privacy laws. As played out in the media, we are seeing individuals who, having disclosed information about their character, personal habits, and lifestyles through social networking sites, regret these choices.
As for me, my identity is real, my name is real. I am Anthony K. Valley. I have been googled before and I will be googled again.

Isn't it amazing how fast the shift from fun to business has become? The Internet is limitless and limiting at the same time..
