If a lot of the new, cool, social software out there survives, and I eventually get around to using it, I’ll probably want a consistent digital identity – division6… and was pleasantly surprised to find that I could have that username on both Digg and Reddit today. Now I’m thinking I need to go and register for every other service I might possibly use with my digital identity before I lose it to a bot…

Why not use my real identity? Not because I really really love to give fake names, but rather because invariably, after years of forgetting if I’d registered as armand, armand.david, adavid, adavid01, davidfly, ard30, jard30, etc etc, I’d had enough. And division6 is sufficiently obscure that I’ve been able to capture it on most of the systems I need to thus far :).
