From my good friend, @patrickrhone:

Want to start a new blog meme: Excepting folks who use their real name. Tell the story of your twitter name.

I have always used my fullname for account names through various and sundry services that I use. I don’t feel that using made up names for services provides any value for my use of that service. I am a fairly transparent person when it comes to my online life, so why try to hide behind a nickname that has no affiliation with my name. It also makes people that are searching for me a lot easier. If they know my name, then they should be able to find me.
