If we can’t find you online, you don’t exist

I always find this pretty strange. In my case I'm trying, as much as possible, to have the least possible number of things linked to my real name online. So googling for my real name will lead to nothing (or people with the same me) but not mine.

Is this really a bad habit that I should lose?

Why would it have to be all or nothing? Use your real name for things you want the public to find and fake ones for the things you don't.

Yes but I'm trying to have nothing "public" linked to my name and I was wondering if it was really a bad habit that I should try to downplay a bit to at least leave my linkedin (or other professional social network) profile public for example.

It's interesting that the number 4 seems to keep coming up in the topic of work personalities.

The head of innovation over at Wells Fargo, who happens to be the father of a good friend of mine, actually wrote a book on the topic and came to some very similar conclusions as you did. It's a short and good read.

Personally, I prefer the A-Team:

Hannibal - provides the Vision & plan;

BA Baracus - knows how to get things done the right way;

Face - can get anything, find anyone, or knows someone who can;

Murdock - tries things that "everyone knows" won't work.. makes it work anyway (sometimes).
