If avatars are placeholders for bodies, usernames have become symbols of identity. They’ve become one name now, such as @caseorganic of Twitter, or, as Chris Messina says, simply /caseorganic, to denote one’s namesake on multiple networking sites. One name now, like Archimedes of Syracuse, we are @caseorganic of Twitter, as Twitter is the digital space in which I reside the most - my online base of social interaction.
