A Note.

In the light of recent events we´ll need to talk a bit about privacy here. This is a semi-anonymous blog. I don´t really mind if you know my name and my job etc. - just if you do, keep it to yourself.  There´s a reason why I don´t put my full name out there: Because it´s just not of any interest for this project. This is a blog about my personal likes and dislikes and thoughts and I don´t necessarily want my colleagues to read it for example. Not even all my friends know about this blog because I feel they won´t understand why I do this and it´s just easier this way. I feel that this blog is a way to reach out to people out there who understand the "blog" thing and share my interests. I write this for you, and not for my friends or family and especially not for colleagues who will only make fun of this.

So, please. Don´t make these worlds collide. And please don´t make me uncomfortable in this space, or I am just going to shut it down. Thank you.

alles ok? was ist da los?
für mich sind Fotos von mir im Netz auch ok, nur meinen
vollen Namen mag ich dort schon lange nicht mehr lesen.
sollen wir eine sympathieaktion für deine geheime identität
auf unseren Blogs starten? Kollegen bashing? ;) mach ich,
will nur weiter von dir lesen.

würde mich verlinken, wenn's denn ginge. Kommentare vom
Handy aus zu schreiben ist ein wenig kompliziert scheints.

Mir ist´s eine Lehre. Ab sofort sehen nur mehr meine "Freunde" auf Flickr Fotos von mir, und mein Facebook-Account ist so dicht wie er nur sein kann. Twitter ist ohnehin geschützt. Schauen wir mal, wie es weitergeht.

I can relate so much to your words...I've spend several years anonymously on Flickr and later blogging under a different name. I didn't want to see people from my real life what I was doing in my online world...especially co-workers and such. But over the years it became exhausting to maintain two personalities and I was bored of explaining people from my online world what my real name was. So in the end I decided to use my real name somewhen last year. I even use my family name which is not very common and makes me VERY identifiable. But for me it is also about giving these people no influence on my life anymore. I don't want them to know anything about me, I don't want to make myself vulnerable by giving them any information about my life. But what I want most is that they do not make me do anything because of them. I do not want them to make me hide.
And even though I didn't get any negative reactions I sometimes wish I could still hide behind my former web alter-ego. It's not always easy and makes me think twice what I put out there.
Hope you stay here and continue blogging and twittering and sharing pictures...

Ich fände es sehr schade, wenn du (nach Lillians Diary) auch hier wieder verschwinden würdest. Ehrlich! Liebe Durchhaltegrüße aus dem Süden und sorry, dass du es momentan mit dem einen oder anderen Stolperstein zu tun hast.

Hope everything is okay. I too, don't tell everyone about my blog because I just don't want every single person in my "real" life knowing all the things I put there. How strange that I've found friends blogging whom I've never met in person but that's the truth!

I hope that people will respect your wishes so we can continue reading about your creative endeavors, your style insights, and the like.

Du weißt ja wie ich zum Thema Anonymität/Privatsphäre stehe. Also von mir weiß keiner irgendwas...

[Tamara]

Ich weiß nicht, was genau vorgefallen ist, aber ich versteh nicht, warum manche Menschen negative Kommentare abgeben müssen oder gemein sind. Hoffentlich machst du trotzdem weiter, lässt uns an deinen Gedanken teilhaben und zeigst uns schöne Bilder!
