Don't make (public) connections between your online personas, especially anything that can link those personas to your own personal information. This even applies to something as simple as an email address or nickname you use on more than one site or service.

These connections make it easy for your friends and family to find you, but work just as well for bullies (and even potential criminals) to find them. No matter what online socializing you do, they'll be there to ruin it for you.

Limit public mentions of connections between profiles and use strong passphrases to protect those profiles wherever possible.
