In reply to Paola. I'm with you Paola. People want to know the people behind the business. Thanks for stopping by the blog!

For me, one of the reasons why I have started my own business adventure is to build a more authentic life. I want to offer my goods and services to real people out there, who are also keen to connect with a real person that runs a business, not a big faceless corporation. I always use my real name.

I agree. Real names make things much easier. I use my real name but have had to include a middle initial in my twitter one as my name without was taken.

One way to weed out those who don’t want to use their name or who think they can game the system by using fake names, is to integrate the Facebook Commenting system. I’m not going for this option yet as I don’t want to turn over my site to Facebook. You can read more about it on it and see it in action in this post on Techcrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/01/facebook-rolls-out-overhauled-comments-system-try-them-now-on-techcrunch/
