[...] One the web: I was just talking to a friend about this a few minutes ago. Something amazing has happened online over the last few years. There’s been a big shift with the advent of 2.0 that many people have dropped their screen name aliases and are identifying themselves online by their real names. There have been a lot of conversations about personal branding and identity, even as recently as yesterday. [...]

I like it cheers for the idea, I will have a look around for some examples and try and borrow their layout to test!

Rather than splitting things between two blogs you could use some combination of tags and css to split your blog into two panes. That would give it the look of a newspaper page.

Very interesting post. I echo many of the things that you mention here. I think I know where my niche is, however, I struggle with the term “expert”. I guess it depends on perspective. While I may know more about a certain subject than the average joe I can't help but look at the people that I consider experts and wonder how much value that I could add.

I'm struggling with the same thing myself. My job title is “developer” and has been for several years. But I've never considered myself a programmer or a code monkey for the sake of code – for me it's always been about the means of communicating and fostering community.

So along comes this fancy new term, “social media'. It seems right up my alley. My “tech blog” doesn't contain much about code anymore, it's about this new way of looking at communication and crowdsourcing and data portability and …

But I don't want to call it a web2.0 blog, or a social media blog, or an {insert new buzz word here} blog. It's each of those things, and it's more than just of those things. Like you say, I don't want to become associated with a single bubble..

My web identity is pretty much closely tied to my real life. If you Google me, you would probably be confused. There are at least 4 major areas that I could be considered expert in, depending on who you ask :)

I was thinking of trying to separate these things across different blogs or something like that, but I think it would be easier in the long run to just throw it all together and let others pick the parts they like.
