The police are supposed to be the exemplar in society and have special restrictions, such as the fact that they cannot operate a secondary income or partake in any business activity what so ever, outside of their job roles. A lot of high profile internet markets such as ed dale, eben pagan and I suspect a lot of others go by pen names, because of their high online visibility, privacy becomes more of an issue, and they need to take such measures to protect their public lives. As social media and peoples net presence grows, and tools such as twitter, linkedin, facebook etc become more and more the norm. I think the need to protect people private lives would be paramount, so perhaps it will be the norm for marketers and anyone else with high net presence because of their work to adopt pen names. This should prevent cases such as the above to happen.

It has always seemed like madness to me that individuals will post online information about themselves or their organisations that they would never dream of shouting out loud in the street...and yet on the street people pass by and soon forget what they have heard, on line it stays with you and follows you around forever. It is time that individuals woke up to both the dangers and powerful opportunities of managing their reputation online. What a fantastic comment.
