Internet Identity Crisis

January 19, 2004 / Internet and Society / Comments (2)

When advising individuals on how to manage their online identities, I usually start with domain names. (For example, I own several domains related to my name, such as michaelheraghty.com and heraghty.net.) However, if your name is Michael Rowe, this may not be such a good idea -- particularly when there are paranoid, pedantic legal departments of certain multinationals out there.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your comment! I'll drop you an email shortly.

Maybe I'll even post something on the web about the Heraghty name, its Irish origins, etc.

One of these days, that is. I'll add that to the rainy day list!

-- Michael
