The number one person on FB with the same name as me is very blond, very pretty, Australian and often has a profile pic of herself in a bikini at the beach. I am pretty plain (and much more modest) in comparison. I wonder if future potential employers will be more or less likely to short list me after searching my name on Facebook. Could make for an interesting start to an interview…

Thanks for this story ~ what a great way to start my morning, with a chuckle (no it was more of a laugh). I find Facebook an excellent tool for staying connected with my students especially (I balance my use professionally and personally) as well as my classmates from high school and college. It’s another way of updating news and following others’ that may be important to you. Good luck shaking the cuddle bug.

Hi Will –

Hmmm — guess I am on the other side of the fence on this one…..still not claiming a facebook identity, nor plan to. Since I do not wish my web presence defined by a place where (for me) I only play games.

Perhaps you are using Facebook more powerfully than I am…..but personally, I would say “just let this one go.”

Your web presence is NOT defined by your name on facebook. Your respectability is not defined by your name on facebook. You have created other important and noted online portals that establish who and what you are……If people confuse you with this new facebook identity, than really, they have not done their research.

And frankly, (smiles), it could have been a lot worse than “cuddle bug.”

Thanks for letting me share.

Awww Cuddle Bug! at least you could *try* and get one! what did you end up with? please telle me you didn’t add a number on the end!…[facepalms]

darn FB!…i finally decide to “come out” from under my many interweb pseudonyms to getting an FB with my RL name and find out that NEW accounts didn’t even have the opportunity to get a URL!…so someone else gets /gwyneth_jones but she looks like a nice sort, so i’ll let it slide…..

heh heh cuddle bug….too funny! almost an FML!

I was also away from my computer living life when the Facebook event happened.

I got “TheJohnSoares” instead of just “John Soares.” I’m happy enough.

Will, Just think of the future storytelling value you can get from this experience. Others will learn not to make their own “Cuddle Bug” mistake.
