I have a Facebook account, restricted to a few family members. It is essentially hidden to everyone else, even their friends. All recently added FB features are turned off due to inherent security issues. There is no timeline on my FB account. I do not put anything on it that I would not put in the newspaper. All tags are deleted if they are added by others.

I will never use Twitter. I don't want to read them, and would never send one out.

I have a Linked In account that has the same info that my CV has. It was started for work purposes. My CV is out there already due to consulting jobs and so on. No worries there. Anyone I am connected to on Linked In started out as a real contact, not on line.

In local on-line forums (usually urban design issues, local politics, etc) I post with my real name, because I think it promotes civility on line. In larger forums like this, no. But I do meet xoutpost friends from time to time. I have been here for nine years now, since X5World began. Never planned that.

I now have a Google Plus account. But I have refused all the requests to join circles, etc.
