In some ways this can actually be a benefit for networking, as it can lead to interesting ways to start a conversation. Once I had written about someone and he had found my blog entry about him and replied with a comment – I ended up meeting him a few days later and joke with him about the experience.
But writing about someone in the game industry once also nearly got me in trouble when they found what I had written about them. Luckily she had a good sense of humor about it at the time, but I felt really bad that something I had said wasn’t nearly as anonymous as I had thought and had nearly hurt someone.
