Its like Twitter but with a close knit community and a great background. Think Twitter pre-2007 before it was commercialised and business ads started jumping on board.

I used to use Squarespace but switched to WordPress with a grid server web host (http://www.simplexwebs.com/) and I'm using a heavily optimised framework called Thesis (http://jonnyrowntree.com/thesis)

You could also try creating a website and optimising it so it shows well in the search results for your specified field.

Don't share every second of your life. Keep to yourself what you want private and share what you want public. No need to mess around with other identities.

I have to admit that tech journalism is good in some aspects - especially if the journalist conveys a good point.
