I think it may be a case by case basis. We each have to give some thought to our particular situation and decide how far we want to go. The problem arises when we fail to consider the potential downside…and, as they say, you can’t get the horse back in the barn. I’m still not sure where I will personally draw the line.

I know folks personally who work in the corporate world and who would never dare to reveal such information. I also know folks who work in government jobs and are secure in their jobs such that discussing health issues openly, but not obcessively, is not a huge issue.

There are still a few things which I consciously refrain from sharing in the webworld. Although name, contact information, and studio policies are none of these things, being that they are business-related and quasi-advertisement. If I had not already had an online presence when starting my blog, I might have created a parallel identity…maybe.

In protection of identifiable online activity, I have chosen to not allow public access to my Sitemeter stats where IP addresses, location, and often business affiliation can be determined.
