No.

I will not put my real name online in a public forum. Especially not linked with my CV that has a lot of personal information on it. I am afraid of harassment and stalkers, and I really want to control the amount of personal information that gets out there. I don't have a LinkedIn for that reason. I know a lot of that can be found if someone is digging hard enough, but I am extremely uncomfortable with just anyone finding my CV with a Google search. I am really uncomfortable with my work history being public information. In theory I could make that information password protected I guess.

Does it limit me? Probably.

My ideal, if you search for my name in a search engine and NOTHING comes back.
