Often they want to outsource at least part of the talking to me, so I&#8217;m given a new online identity. The name is still the same, but you get a new email (with IMAP and everything) and often business cards with this identity. If you&#8217;re lucky it&#8217;s also a Google Account (via Google Apps) that you need to share calendars, gtalk etc.<\/p>\n<p>As you help different organizations, you keep accumulating these identities that you can&#8217;t shut off because you never know who will decide to email you on that address or which account you&#8217;ve got registered. On top of that, you almost never completely stop helping them unless the project gets shut down.<\/p>\n<p>So now you have tons of email addresses, that each connect to different identity that you use to talk to <em>bloggers<\/em>. The only problem is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurecuhalev.com\/blog\/2009\/10\/27\/exploiting-dunbars-number-for-your-business-model\/\">there is a limited number of meaningful connections<\/a> that you can have. So you email people from all these identities with different questions, forwards, reply-alls and so on.<\/p>\n<p>This does at the end of the day mean, that I&#8217;ll have to talk to myself via different identities, CC other email or info@ accounts (that I control anyway) so that we can make sense of our world. That everyone knows who belongs to who, depending on the email domain.<\/p>\n<p>I have yet to write multiple (personal) Twitter accounts or Foursquare logs, even though I&#8217;m sure that this day isn&#8217;t far away.<\/p>\n<p><em>So if you see my replying to myself from a different domain, it&#8217;s all normal, it&#8217;s just that I don&#8217;t want to break online balance of identities.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Jure and one of the things I do is to help people talk and work with their communities so they can improve their products or services.
