Are you really “you” online?<\/p>\n

We asked around for stories of digital alter egos \u2014 secret identities that people maintain on the web and try to keep separate from their real life identities.<\/p>\n

And it turns out there are lots of reasons \u2014 some good, some nefarious, some maybe both \u2014 for someone\u00a0to have alternate personas online.<\/p>\n

On this episode we share stories of Catfishers, sock puppets, and digital doppelgangers.<\/p>\n
