I would be Design Boy. Mostly because I still feel like a kid.

Great article. I love your passion for making articles fun but not overdoing it.

I try to be as open as I can about Daniel Edlen, the artist, and his art. I hate typing in 3rd person, but it is distinct in action from Daniel Edlen, husband, son-in-law, owner of 3 big dogs. But anything about the art? Totally fair game.Daniel Edlens last blog post..Be

I love your frank analysis about how the internet is making us more uncomfortably transparent and intimate, erasing “hard” lines between workplace persona, social persona, and etc. And the superhero analogy is ingenious!

I believe some discretion is called for in most circumstances, especially where one is being labelled and logged. However I’m also much less paranoid about disclosure because, how much can one person really know another anyway? I honestly think I’m sophisticated, cultured, and complex enough that I’m pretty bold about sharing honestly and openly my opinions, activities, and observations. But I do still maintain a division between the “public relations” me and the private me.

I’m no Superman (dual/invulnerable), but I’m definitely not a Spiderman (emo) either. I was always a fan of Silver Surfer, but I’m probably more like one of the minor/accessory superheros e.g. Green Lantern… haven’t given much cognition to comics in toooooo long, but then, my heros these days are dads and CEO’s and artists and monks.

Interesting post Michelle. I think eventually we end up bumping against this invisible barrier between the online relationships we have and the ones we have in real life.

If you’ve got a controversial blog that might let you blow off some steam, but you probably wanna keep it secret so your boss/work/partner/parent etc don’t see it.

On the other hand people have their professional blogs that are supposed to be about professional subject, but inevitably are contaminated with our personal beliefs, politics, rants etc. It’s a think line to draw indeed. But if I had to pick a super hero to emulate, it’d be batman ;o)

The easy solution is to have multiple online personalities I have one for my family, friends and colleagues and another if I want to talk about anything controversial!
