I think this is it, really. For those such as I who sometimes get bored with the ‘using social media to talk about social media’ roughinthejunglebidnizz but do really like… well, more or less everything else, such filters are a good thing.

I’d read this excercise as ‘consideration for reader’ more-so than ‘corporate websiteness’.

And, as someone who has recently (and this isn’t particularly or even at all aimed at any of Pete’s blogs) had a dawning realisation of “I like the ‘voice’ but I don’t like the content” epiphonycicatorisation about a few things I read online, I welcome such moves and the encouragement of others to make such moves.

Or, quite possibly, something.

I can spread my wings a little, in other words.

#dual personality thing troubles me a bit; perhaps it is just hitting some old nerves or I might just be being argumentative come to think of it-

1. Like the whole online presence thing being the sum total of activity not just what we hope folks come across – Okay also the double Twitter thing does this mean you lock down your personal one? Won’t they be able to see everything anyway?

2. Also the big boys all coveting the whole blog look/feel/tone of voice/trustiness etc.. Interesting that perhaps you feel the need for a bit of their corporate websiteness?

Anyway I look forward to seeing how it develops might follow your progress with my Business creation students, if you don’t mind, who are all in a similar position (i.e. starting their businesses) trying to figure out their online stuff. I’d be really interested to hear how you’re advised by the various advisors too – will you keep a bit of a record around this here (presumably)?

#Suits: not sure they do them in combat trouser styley?;-)

I don’t think the ASH-10 brand dilutes it too much as it’s still my name, just about. And I intend to syndicate the posts from there into here so everything is in one place. In other words, you won’t have to follow ash10.com but clients will be able to get my business-type stuff without having to plough through everything else here. Think of it as me in a suit. Still me, just in a suit.

At least that’s the plan. ;)

Best of luck

Congrats to the new ash10 beginning!

Also, may not mean anything to you, but if your applying for a trademark, it helps that you own the most popular domains.

But it’s moot now. I’m the proud owner of ash10.com and ash-10.com!

There is the paperwork side of things, but in fact I find that it’s forced me to be organised, which can’t be a bad thing.

But I’m not sure Pete is even considering becoming an ltd, so I’ll stop there.

ash10 seems like a spam domain though no? might find you get emails blocked?

And wadayaknow, ash10.com is available…..

‘Limited’ is a legal designation. It means that the company doesn’t take responsibility for its debts on dissolution.

And it’s built out of P Ashton, obv.

Peteashton Limited should be entirely possible (subject to a Companies House check) but I’d question whether that’s professional enough – better to use a name that’s scalable beyond one person? Useful just in case, sends out a better message and is more saleable (need to think ahead) . Also, try to use something you won’t have to explain/spell to people.

How about Random Bleep Limited or Brap! Limited (Brap standing for ‘Blogging Requirements – Ashton, Pete’ obviously).
