I was recently having a little debate with Diana over at the Digital Natives blog about我最近有一個不大的辯論與戴安娜以上數字土人博客約 how best to manage online identities as a teenager如何以最佳方式管理在線身份,作為一名少年 , inspired by Lifehacker’s ,靈感來自lifehacker風格的 recent post最近郵政 about managing digital reputations.關於管理數字名譽。 My main point of agreement was about ‘becoming the source’ for information about yourself, and how important it is to maintain a high-profile place for positive information control.我的主要點的協議是關於'成為源' ,為您的個人資料,以及如何重要,它是維持一個高姿態地積極信息控制。 I do that very well with this website–google ’sam jackson’ and you’ll see I’m the fourth result–but right before I saw Diana’s post, I had decided I wanted to cover some other bases.我認為非常好,這個網站與Google山姆傑克遜' ,你會看到我第四次的結果,但權之前,我看到了戴安娜的職位,我已決定,我想談一些其他的軍事基地。

It’s midterms time here at Yale, and while some people like to go out and shop or buy things to de-stress some, I opted for another route: buying a few domain names.它的midterms時間,這裡在耶魯,而有些人喜歡走出去商店買東西德強調一些,我選擇了另一條道路:買幾個域名。 I went to gratuitous lengths to try to acquire a few I’ve been negotiating over for ages, with continued failure.我去無償長度,以試圖獲得幾個我一直在談判,為不同年齡,是繼續失敗。 But I did go ahead and buy但我的確去提前購買 www.SamuelAJackson.com www.samuelajackson.com and www.SamuelABJackson.com www.samuelabjackson.com . I remain bitter that I don’t have the funds to acquire samjackson.com, or samueljackson.com, etc.我仍然非常憤怒,我不掌握資金,以獲取samjackson.com ,或samueljackson.com等。

I wish I had been a little older–or a lot wiser–when I was younger, because I would be a lot richer now for my domain purchases if that had been the case.我真希望我已經有點老還是有很多更明智-當我還是年輕的,因為我會遇到不少富裕,現在我的域名購買,如果一直如此。 But, in case anyone is ever searching for my full name, I now have some good insurance.但是,在任何情況下,是以往任何時候都找我的全名,我現在有一些好的保險。 These wouldn’t really rank, of course, and I will just have them redirect back here for now.這些不會真的降級,當然,我也只是把他們重新回到這裡。 Still–pays to try to cover as many angles as possible, and it’s really pretty cheap.還有誰付費,試圖涵蓋盡可能多的角度越好,那樣,它確實相當便宜。 Certainly a much lower down payment now than there will be later, if you have to try to buy a domain off someone or do damage control from high-ranking bad PR.當然要低得多首期付款比現在會後,如果你有嘗試購買一個域名小康某人或做損害控管,從高級將領壞公關。
