I'm with @mediagirl: my parents took years to understand what blogging meant, and still to this day they don't read my blog. </p> <p>I think 2 years AFTER i got married, they realized how big Weddingbee was and that I literally blogged about EVERYTHING!!!! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-182646 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:58:03 +0000 mediagirl 182646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: whoah. Your Dad? Whoah. Mine doesn't even know how to find my blog. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-182598 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:37:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 182598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to work on being more anonymous on forums. My dad somehow found my account on weddingbee and found a post where I thought I was pregnant (before I was married). He we furious with me, and then basically was my online cyber stalker. he even found me after I got a new username. Wtf? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-182541 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:14:06 +0000 Grace 182541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very annonymous. No Facebook, my email is not related to my name. I'm still not comfortable putting my real name on online purchases, even though I know their sites are secure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-182492 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:49:23 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 182492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm not the norm! I always wondered though if I went MIA or Super Secret and didn't post my life so much, if people would be in withdrawal. haha. not that my life is super interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-182041 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:36:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 182041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty private online. I don't have a blog. I use Facebook, but sparingly. That's the only place I have pictures posted. Even if I didn't have a page my picture would still be on there because of my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-182002 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:45:59 +0000 tequiero21 182002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby's the privacy freak. No pics of him allowed. I'm pretty open...although I didn't use my usual name for hellobee....but if someone asks, I wouldn't hide it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181997 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:37:38 +0000 chopsuey 181997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm somewhere in the middle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181996 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:36:36 +0000 Sweet T 181996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm more private now than I was before I had DS. I don't post his name and I've only posted a few pictures. My facebook is completely private and I'm only friends with people I actually know. I really would love to blog but I worry about privacy. My name is not very common and our last name isn't either. I worry about that so I try to keep it off of public websites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181977 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:20:32 +0000 looch 181977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally privacy freak. The only people on facebook that I am friends with are people I know IRL and I don't post my name or anything identifying on any message boards. The world is big, but it's also very small and I like my privacy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181968 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:09:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 181968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: ah yes, the elusive Mr. Bee!!! I'm so glad we met because before we met, I had no idea what to picture when reading things from you... now I picture YOU! :D</p> <p>I am a total open book. Way too much. I've slipped up a couple of times and felt regret, but in general I find it difficult to hold back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181954 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:00:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 181954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>kind of. I have a twitter with a similar handle as my name here, and IRL people found my twitter. so I don't retweet hellobee or write about it, hoping that they won't find me here, because I share a lot here I don't IRL! lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181951 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:59:09 +0000 kml636 181951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a very private person, so being open on the internet scares me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181920 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:27:55 +0000 Boogs 181920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: I've actually spoken to him, so I can attest that he's real! ;) </p> <p>I used to be more open, but I've tried to be more private online now. The internet can be too scary of a place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181891 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:06:29 +0000 mrs. bird 181891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>'mrs. bird' is a hellobee only name, i wanted it to be unrelated to my weddingbee name as there are pics on me &amp; DH on weddingbee. i am pretty open on my facebook (i keep very few facebook friends), but not about things like TTC, most people wouldn't want to read that stuff on their newsfeed =D i'd like to think i'm pretty anonymous on the rest of the web- i don't blog or have a twitter. but honestly, i'm sure if someone REALLY wanted to they'd be able to figure things out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181875 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:54:06 +0000 MamaMoose 181875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to try to stay as anonymous as possible. I like having the ability to speak freely without worrying that someone I know IRL would know it was me. I haven't and won't post pictures of my face and I also don't plan to ever post pictures of my child once the little nugget arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181834 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:18:22 +0000 Jumpingjacks 181834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anonymous. I'm a pretty private person generally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181832 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:17:13 +0000 mrsdoily 181832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I know right ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181827 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:15:07 +0000 Rescuemom10 181827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope pretty open. Use this name or a simular one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181825 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:12:59 +0000 mrbee 181825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsdoily: Thank goodness nobody knows he has a mole on his booty! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181822 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:11:49 +0000 cyneswith 181822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't take much to ID me, but there are two other people who share the same moniker. (One lived in California the last time I talked to her. Very interesting lady. Never contacted the third.) I use another moniker for my writing. I used to use my real name for writing and art. It's so embarrassing now, seeing the stuff I got published, even though it got picked up by a few specialty magazines. I stopped using that when I got embarrassed by my older stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181791 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:58:15 +0000 mrsdoily 181791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be pretty private, but after I became a blogger for weddingbee, it changed. Now I'm open as a book. I love sharing my story with everyone! Plus I have met a lot of friends through my experience as a bee and on wb, so it's hard to have a real friendship when they don't know who you really are! Mr. D had a lot of reservations about it, but when he saw that I wasn't giving his real name, his social security number, and that he has a mole on his booty, he was cool with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181785 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:55:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 181785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lead two internet lives. Oliviaoblivia is my alter ego for personal stuff (TTC, babies, relationship) and my real name (not Olivia btw) is tied to professional social media and stuff like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181771 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:49:33 +0000 Alivoo01 181771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @mrsjyw: . I share more on here than I do with my real life friends. For instance, none of my RL friends know we're currently TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181733 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:30:35 +0000 mediagirl 181733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be a lot more open than I am now and my husband haaates it. He hates having any information about him or his pictures out there. He graciously lets me put pictures out every once in a while and I demanded he let me share our wedding photos b/c I thought we both looked gooood. </p> <p>My first and last name are on my blog, but I keep his name private. I'm still pretty open with my identity online.</p> <p>I did change my HelloBee name when I first announced I was pregnant on here because I didn't want it tied to my Twitter account and have people find out before I told them (not like that would have happened, but whatever). So, my name on HelloBee is like nothing I've ever used before. I do put pictures of myself in my avatar, though so I don't mind now that people know it's me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181732 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:30:21 +0000 BSB 181732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: There was a blog post on here and I thought MrsBee was writing it. I got all excited when I thought I saw photos of you. I think it was the photo app topic. Then I realized it was a guest blogger. So your cover was not blown. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181723 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:24:35 +0000 BSB 181723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I open about some things and private about others. I've seen some scary security issues and I watch the news, so I try to limit some of the info I put on the Internet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181681 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:45:49 +0000 Mrsbells 181681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very private because I dont want people I know in real life to know all my personal issues </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181666 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:34:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 181666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not terribly private, but I don't have a blog or twitter or anything. My name on here (and WB, and Google, and pretty much all the other sites I do belong to), is an abbreviated form of my last name. Some of them include my first name, or an initial. I have no qualms putting photos of myself up (unless they're bad photos, haha), because despite my privacy settings I just assume FB has sold me out to the internet as a whole anyway, and anyone can see them. I'm also not shy about putting up pictures of DH, and he doesn't really care either way.</p> <p>ETA: Personal life-wise, I think I'm much more anonymous on FB than I am on here or WB. I didn't want my friends and family to know about our struggles to get pregnant, or all the gory pregnancy details. I definitely wouldn't ask my FB friends about leaky boobs, and I know none of them would be on either of these sites so I feel some freedom in the content of what I share here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-anonymous-type-of-person-online#post-181664 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:33:30 +0000 LuLu Mom 181664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am pretty open on here, my DH was a little freaked out when he saw he was a part of my picture, but he got over it pretty quickly. </p>
