On Thursday I am doing a guest lecture for students in Web Publishing 206<\/a>. I am talking about the different identities I have online and why I do my digital presence that way .<\/p>\n

I started it as a regular post, ran out of time, so have just added some links at the bottom that I want to use during the session.<\/p>\n

POTTED HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n

I began using the Internet in 1989 but apart from personal contributions to newsgroups I did not create an online presence until 1996 when I published a raw HTML document on Murdoch University’s servers called: Authoring web pages using skills you already have as a librarian <\/em>after I gave a presentation at an Internet Fair held by our professional organisation.<\/p>\n

In 1997, our son’s birth announcement in the newspaper included a link to a webpage that we created to show pictures of his progress in hospital as a premature baby. I was also very active on a web based forum for mothers who were expecting babies in February 1998 at parentsplace.com. At the time, I couldn’t mention to other people the friendship, support and network that we built because there would be just to much to explain – like what the internet was and how relationships could be rich or real.<\/p>\n

SIREXKAT<\/strong><\/p>\n

I posted to Parentsplace as sirex . My cat, Nougat<\/a> , is a Cornish Rex with Siamese markings, which is called a Sirex . (See A post about my cat<\/a> if<\/a> you must \ud83d\ude42 )
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

I forgot my login one day, and had to create a new one – Sirexkat .<\/p>\n

…..<\/p>\n

And that’s as far as I got with prose, so here are the links that I will be using today:<\/p>\n

IDENTITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blogging:<\/em><\/p>\n

My personal\/professional blog: Librarians Matter<\/a>. I blog to be a node in a conversation and to contribute my bit so that others keep contributing their bits that I so love to interact with.<\/p>\n

My professional “CV” that uses a blog” KathrynGreenhill.com<\/a><\/p>\n

My professional group blog: Libraries Interact<\/a><\/p>\n

I use the blogging platform, WordPress, as a tool to create many different web presences for many different purposes.<\/p>\n

Twitter accounts:<\/em><\/p>\n

My *nonpublic* Twitter account for my informal Personal Learning Network: sirexkat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My public Twitter account that is associated with my blog, rather than me as a person – for feeds from Librarians Matter, conference and event blogging and links that would otherwise go on my blog, libsmatter<\/a> .<\/p>\n

An explanation of the difference between the two accounts: Twitter identities @libsmatter and @sirexkathryn<\/a><\/p>\n

My “working for Curtin University” Twitter account: infoventurer<\/a><\/p>\n

My “here’s where you will find me” Twitter account from when I worked at Murdoch University. It was featured in a widget on the sidebar of my work blog: whereskathryn<\/a><\/p>\n

My “output from group blog” shared Twitter account: libsinteract<\/a><\/p>\n

I use the Tweetdeck Twitter client to manage these.<\/p>\n

It is not difficult for me. Just like you wear different clothes at work and talk to your boss in a different way to how you talk to your kids, I find it easy to slip into the appropriate “channel” – in fact I would feel uncomfortable mixing them up.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere online<\/em><\/p>\n

Flickr<\/p>\n

FriendFeed<\/p>\n

Delicious<\/p>\n

Slideshare<\/p>\n

YouTube – sirexkat and infoventurer<\/p>\n

HOW I GET THINGS FOR MY BLOG.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It took me 6 months of blogging before I knew what the tagline should say.<\/p>\n

I am very aware of how people are getting to my blog and who is being part of the conversation. I use Sitemeter<\/a> and check it daily.<\/p>\n

About sharing limits on my blog: Drawing the veil …<\/a><\/p>\n

A workshop I did at Podcamp Australia in 2007 Blog fodder – what do I put in? .<\/a> A movie showing me describing Ellyssa Kroski’s categorization of different types of blog posts , Lego trainset 111 – Happy Halloween<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
