		<description>I think it would serve you better to use the .com domain for business and .name for personal thoughts in accordance with the original purpose of these TLD's and common usage.</description>

		<description>Hey Brian, I'm dealing with the same issues and thoughts and shut down my successful adsense generating blog about 3 years ago to clear out the SERPs the best I can. I don't know if "personal branding" is a legit keyphrase at the moment but I see how important it is to secure your name and your personal brand. 
I'm wrapping up the final stuff on my blog and should launch soon, but I'll have a similar post explaining what's on my mind. Lol
Good luck with both, see ya around.</description>

		<description>Thanks guys.

Adam, I agree about .com being better suited for the professional branding perspective. The .name top level domain itself is intended for personal usage. However, you clearly realized the dilemma I faced with the .name already being my 'home base' for my branding efforts.

		<description>Brian,

Hey, This totally makes sense although I also agree with Shawno as you are the only person I know who uses .name (that I know of).

Because .com is more common, I would think that .com would make a great "corporate Brian Shaler" brand and the .name could make for a great blog.   That's my take, however it would be harder to switch as the .name is already the corporate you.

		<description>Brian,

Glad to see that I am not the only person to maintain a "dual blog identity". A few months ago I started a second blog to do the same thing. My blog at http://davidlitsky.com/ has become my personal blog, and the bootstrap economist has become my professional blog. My strategy is to get the conversation going in a blog format, and I can add to either domain down the road as I build out my sites accordingly.

		<description>You're the only person I know of who is using a .name domain.  I know that means absolutely nothing, but I thought I'd mention it, anyway.</description>

		<description>Makes perfect sense to me.  I had to refocus my main site to its purpose (food &#38; travel) and move my opinion off to its own.  As well as another for my I LOATHE NY, because while it's about, food and travel, it focuses on one location and finding things to like in a place I hate.</description>
