Conflicts of Having a Voice in the Digital Age

>narcissism vs. having useful things to say:
When I write in a blog, is it really helping anyone but myself?


>standing out vs. fitting in:
Is having a digital voice just another way to blend in?


>having an appropriate digital persona vs. lacking a digital persona:
Which is better: risking that your professional image is tarnished by your blog or risking not having a blog at all?


>being balanced vs. lacking a strong voice:
Is it possible to have an effective online voice without others pigeonholing your views as one side or the other?


Those are the conflicts of the digital world that Gen Y will experience for the rest of our careers. My hope is that this is a transitional time and resolving our digital lives with our real lives might come more naturally in the future.
