Thanks, cwodtke for adding that. I actually aggregated a bunch of blog responses to this panel here: http://xianlandia.com/te-amo/2007/03/30/blog_responses_to...

(I'm hoping to do a followup panel focused on reputation at the next sxsw.)

David Malouf (n'e Heller) documented his name change in his blog, detailing much of the bureaucratic rigmarole (see the next two slides for more).

Liz Henry blogged about how this anecdote was received in her vicinity: http://liz-henry.blogspot.com/2007/03/sxswi-attention-pan...

I didn't know Leslie Harpold as well as some at SxSW, but we met and hung out a little and, more importantly, Leslie sustained a prodigious presence online that was true to her offline self. Most of her fans and friends learned of her death when her annual advent calendar stopped updating in early December of 2006. Paul Ford pointed out that Leslie would have found many of the online reminiscences and tributes and obituaries that blossomed in her wake mawkish, but she inspired that sort of involvement from others. I miss her.

I resisted Twitter (twttr) when pzriddle invited me sometime last year. I broke down at SxSW and activated my account, unable to get my usual preferred username, xian. I took mediajunkie but realized later when discussing it with tantek (twitter username: t) that I ought to have gone for something shorter. I had looked at x, but it was taken. How about 'xi' or 'xia' asked tantek, but it was too late.

But if you log in you can see more info and if you can negotiate 'friend' status you can stalk him, or, as in the description of this panel, spy on yourself.

yeah, mirrors within mirrors!

and then they were both in the audience when i showed the slide -
adactio was on the irc backchannel.

I always find the attention trust value proposition a little dicey. The whole thing just seems pretty complicated and fraught with the potential for privacy snafus. What's in it for me?

PeterMe decided not to show his or her profile to the public.

Hey, Thomas Vander Wal told me about this incident!

Must have been a little freaky...
