From Anonymity to Translucency
From Where We’ve Been to Where We’re Going –
How We Have and Will Engage Online
These are a few slides that I developed over the summer of 2009 that map out the way we have and (potentially) will engage as human beings, with one another and with brands, concepts, issues and politicians, online.
These thoughts have been made possible by inspiration from my work at New Media Strategies and j3, thanks to my discussion on these topics at Transparency Camp in DC (Feb / Mar ’09), through my personal journey from online IP enforcer at Arent Fox, to my own digital presence as /LeslieBradshaw and via many conversations and campaigns with co-workers, chief among them, Bill Beutler.

In 2025, this framework feels particularly applicable to how I continue to wrestle with how and if to show up online. Dear younger me: thank you for this <3
