Online Networking Tip: Pick an appropriate online alias

Savvy Gal Networking Tip:  Pick an appropriate online alias.   If you’d like to remain anonymous, choose a username that is not easily identifiable to you.  However, if the message board is directly related to your business and you would want people reading your comments to locate you, it's O.K. to use your full name.  Here’s a good rule of thumb: If you would feel comfortable putting your comment in the letters to the editor section of your local paper or business journal, then use your real identity.  When in doubt, leave your real name out.
