<p>Having recently updated this site it I realised that recent events in the blogging world makes creating an online identity for yourself or your business quite difficult.</p>
<p>There are so many blogging and social networking systems available now that having your own identity can be spoilt by other people having the same online username.</p>
<p>Choosing a <a class="zem_slink" title="Domain name" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name">domain name</a> is really difficult, you want something short, memorable, difficult to mis-type and that&#8217;s available, meeting all that criteria is difficult enough, but now I think it is even harder due to the sheer number of people blogging and sharing their lives online.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s for these reasons that I recently changed my domain name from www.dkoder.com to www.dekoded.com, not only was the word dkoder difficult to explain to someone but I also found thousands of google results which related to someone else&#8217;s online username, someone typing your business name into a search engine and finding results relating to some possibly dubious activities could make them view you and your business in a negative way.</p>
<p>Obviously there&#8217;s only so much you can do about this, however I think now it&#8217;s a good idea to register to as many blogging and social networking sites with your business or domain name in a bid to try and and control the situation as best you can, obviously this will also have a benefit for your website as giving your site as much exposure and links is always good, I&#8217;ll certainly be recommending that any of my clients do the same, or at least make them aware of the potential problem.</p>
