On username consistency

Being online nowadays is pretty much a common thing. Wether on social networks, blogs, homepages, and whatnots, an online presence can potentiate growth.

But multiplying this presence capability by the billions of people that are online can be cumbersome.

Hence, being easily discoverable is a key point. And a key point in discoverability is username/alias consistency among online communication channels. If a single username is used throughout different services, one can potentiate his own profile/persona.

In tune with this line of thought, check if you have the same username in: email, website, twitter, linkedin, etc. If not, change that, if I may suggest.

In the light of this post, I have eaten my own dogfood. You can now find me at ruidlopes.com, and this blog also reflects these corrections as well.
