> If we could tell our 1998 selves about the modern "personal branding" craze our old selves would never believe it.
I think this is a fascinating comment. I was using my real name on the Internet in 1998, and now I mainly stick to pseudonyms. Occasionally I Google up what I was talking about on usenet 10+ years ago when I was a geeky teenager and cringe. Let's hope Google never puts together a comprehensive IRC log the way they were able to with usenet.
