Name change + web presense = confusion
I have lots of URLs. And unlike most people, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. You see in just a few short months I will become a Sullivan. Now that’s great because my intials won’t changem, but what about all my web presences where I am known as “cswenton.” Lets review my plan:
1. Yelp – From the begining, I have been know as “Cathy S.” Great! This will obviously work going forward and a few weeks back I secured the URL alias of cathysull. So my new Yelp URL is now: http://cathysull.yelp.com.
2. Flickr – Now onto Flickr…I have been on Flickr for years now and used swenton as my alias (which is also used in the URL). I checked the availability and cathysull is available. When should I make the switch…
3. Twitter – I secured my handle. Just in case I decide to starting Twittering. http://twitter.com/cathysull
4. cathy.swenton.com – Now onto the precense that brings everything together. What do I do here?
I guess the real question is when to introduce the confusion. Do I wait until September or start now? I think I’ll take the plunge.
