so facebook has begun offering vanity URLs to folks (’bout time, i know). though i hadn’t planned on staying up ’til 12:01am EST, it turns out that i like air conditioning, beer, and television, and the triumvirate were available tonight in DC.
so once i had decided to get a URL with facebook, i had to decide on the name. amy.buckland? amybuckland? amyb?
in the end i picked “jambina” which has been my online identity for a number of years (except on youtube – dunno who that is).
now it’s never been hard to find out who jambina is, but it’s still a bit jarring that i have now associated that name with my facebook identity.
but i see this as a good thing.
i’m proud of my online identity. i participate in much of the conversation out there, and think that on most occasions, i have something of value to say. [this is the point in the post when i realize that someone out there will find something horrible i have said/done online and post it in the comments. such is life.] so i have no reason to be wary of this jambina/amy link.
i think.
do i?
