I had a bad habit of going through email addresses when I was younger. The fascination of choosing any persona and whimsical name was too addictive and I made sure I exploited it to the full. I’ve had after the rains, in the rains, little rain cloud, tuscan lights and a countless other email handles that after a point were too boring to continue with. Thankfully, I didn’t lose any of my friends to changing emails but I’m realizing a bigger problem now. The need for one organized identity throughout the internet. I’ve left digial turds on plenty of social media sites/ social media tools and various other sites that I might have just wanted to "try" out. (FYI - no. you won’t find me on match.com or shaadi.com)
But in doing so - I’m a different handle everywhere. My college years are marked by one handle and then my post-college years by another handle and now yet another one for professional reasons. The lines are so blurred now — and I have on fragmented identity on the internet.
Also, changing the blog name didn’t help because now I’ve gotta figure out how to change the URL…
Any suggestions people?
As a start, I changed my twitter to miyume01 because my AIM is miyume01. (And I recently started using AIM because the rest of the world may be on MSN, but America is still on AIM)
You can change your url in the customize blog option, or you could import this blog to a new url, and paste an automatic link there, which will take the readers to your new blog within 5 seconds. That option is normally there on most blogging platforms, but I don’t know much about typepad, so am a little at loss here..
Pragni - Yes, the challenge is how do I communicate to everyone my new blog! I may have to keep this going for a while before I can move everyone over to the new one..
