What else

What else should go on a page like this? Everything besides some contact method would be optional. Links to your info at formal identity systems. Link to a resume? Link to a blog? To a profile page for one of the collective blog account systems? Car roll? Rap sheet? NetFlix queue? PayPal pay-me button?

Domain names? Not necessarily all owned, but all used? Would that be useful for anything? Useful to whom?

Could an organization have a page? I guess so; some organizations don't like to think about being a collection of individual people, and to be fair it is a PITA to change stuff like that when people leave. Companies would turn it into a marketing page. That would be OK. I think the idea is it can be whatever you want it to be so long as it provides a contact method.

What about a paragraph about which of the not so many Amy Bellingers on the planet is me. It could include where I grew up, what I do for a living, which Amy Bellingers I'm not, what kinds of things a web search on me is likely to turn up. That would be hard to write! You wouldn't be writing a bio; you'd want to concentrate only on distinguishing yourself from other people with your name. You wouldn't puff yourself up, or say more than you need to narrow down the possibilities, or give info like your mother's maiden name that could help thieves. It would be about who you are on the internet, not who you are in big brother databases. Maybe something like this:

Which Amy Bellinger

If you google "Amy Bellinger" I won't be the one who "advanced a runner on a sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning." Nor the Arthur Conan Doyle character. More likely the one associated with either web page making, online community, online learning, literature and literary adaptations (especially Jane Austen), podcasting, marketing, franchising, telecommuting or napping. I often go by the handle "amyloo."
