I especially use this when I comment on another site or blog. It's free advertisement.

Where will I be in 5 years? That is definitely food for thought.

Back in my "leet" days I would use "t1hs0n141" on all my account names. It was always very confusing. Now I either use my name, abbreviated name, or a user name that is unique yet easy to remember. One of the better moves I have made. I did something similar. Back in my “leet” days I would use “t1hs0n141″ on all my account names. It was always very confusing.

The point is to keep it as simple as possible. Not everyone has the luxury of just using their name but don't through extra loops in that will make it harder to remember. Kind of like choosing a domain name, picking some "cool" spelling like str8ht.com where you have to explain the spelling to everyone might not be your best bet.

It's definitely a great idea to do so; however, people who have longer names (such as myself) have a problem doing this. For example, twitter won't even support a username with as many characters as my name has. What would you suggest then? Nice post Jared.
