I'm thinking of Timothy Johnson's post on why he calls himself Timothy online as a differentiator to the other Tim Johnson's out there (though I can't remember the exact post on his site, Carpe Factum). It is fortunate that my name is spelled only with one "t" in Scot. I tried to get Scot.com, Herrick.com and also tried to get ScottHerrick.com so that I could forward misspellings to the "right" site -- but all were taken. If you can't get a domain with your own name, try at least to get a name that can be associated with your personal brand. Brands are how we differentiate ourselves. A good brand name that represents your strongest attributes would be a good second choice. I agree, Mike.

This is one reason I suggest to every student/job-seeker to grab their name as a domain (like you have with ScotHerrick.com) You're right. We should each present ourselves using multiple mediums.
