Thanks, Beth. Got it! I created a new Facebook page and will use that person for this purpose. I got caught with my pants down a few months ago with my twitter account. I was doing a back and forth conversation with Austin Wilde and I somehow ended up broadcasting it. Had 104 new followers who retwitted it countless times. Got a call from my daughter who asked, "Hey Dad. What's up with your twitter account?" along with a smiley face. New name for that account, too. And, it took quite a while to clear out the resulting followers and that conversation. Not good.
Wow. I think that's everybody's nightmare. While it may be impossible to keep all social media accounts from being intertwined and connected at some point by the NSA or others who are very computer savvy, one does have to be careful and take reasonable precautions. It's a very good idea to set up separate accounts for those aimed at family, personal friends and acquaintances versus those for adult recreation on the side.Another trick is to have them linked to different email accounts from each other.
For instance Ian Dempsey posted videos for the eyes of the forum only and put them on Youtube. I suspect what happened is that he used the same personal email address for both his Youtube account and his Facebook account. The fine folks at Google decided they would do him and his FB friends a favor by posting links to all of his forum-only directed videos onto the FB pages of Ian's contacts of family and personal friends. I imagine it said something innocent like, "Your friend 'John Smith' recently watched or posted these videos." So his parents, siblings and friends all got links to follow to Ian Dempsey's Youtube videos where he talked about being a porn star doing gay for pay. Then he said suddenly one day his phone started exploding with texts and phone calls. They were probably like, "Dude. WTF? John! Who is Ian Dempsey? What's going on? You're doing gay porn? Are you gay?"
It was a very harrowing experience for him for those first few days. But it did eventually get better for him.
Hey Zeno Kostas,
This convo was on another thread but I think it's very relevant here as to what we're discussing here. As I mentioned above, if you do decide to jump into more social media as the superhero Zeno Kostas, you should keep a different email account link for each social media site. Also, obviously you should probably use a different password for each email account. If God forbid, you should ever get hacked on one site, you don't want to give them the keys to your whole kingdom of personal life and public life.
