      Something I'm reading at the moment has me reflecting on the nature of Internet participation in a professional capacity, and as long as I have Twitter open: There exist a few balancing acts that you do when you're in a professional space.

      It would feel inauthentic to me to say "I play a character on the Internet." I would similarly not say I play a character at work. But there *is* a performance I'm doing, and it is a different performance than I put on for my daughter or at church or when RPGing with friends.

      We've all had a lifetime to work on the general performance-of-self but generally rather less to work on performance-of-self-as-a-professional or performance-of-self-on-Internet or performance-of-self-on-Internet-as-a-professional.

      Note that, while you are your own self, it's probably better to think of your Internet spaces not as an extension of yourself but a *shared* space between you and the people who you hope to meet. You can manufacture that space, in a way which optimizes for what you want.

      Some people argue loudly on Twitter. Consider whether it optimizes for your instrumental goals to do so; do not do so unless it optimizes for your instrumental goals. This goes for other things that you may be tempted to do on the Internet.

      Strive for a really high signal to noise ratio. Someone mentioned recently that their perception of my Twitter account is "like a blog." That's not an accident; Twitter is an explicitly professional space for me. I exercise discretion like I would at an IRL water cooler.

      I don't do an explicit count of how many slice-in-the-life tweets I'm allowed before talking about SaaS marketing, but there's a purpose for smalltalk. There's an infinite variety of perfectly fine use cases for a smartphone which don't belong in a professional presence.

      The most useful key on your keyboard is backspace. I used to delete an HN comment prior to posting for every one that saw the light of day, and I wrote *a lot* of HN comments; "Does this really add to the conversation?" was the implicit bar.
