A few tidbits I'd offer from a non-technical perspective (cyberduck is probably smarter on this stuff than me). Use different pseudonyms rather than real name. (check). Vary your pseudonyms between social media to make it harder to crosswalk between them. Use different emails for social media than work issues (in case someone googles your work email). If you use your real name, vary it's spelling or arrangement on different sites - for example a real name profile on Linked In can vary from a real name profile on Facebook.
Double check by googling these variations by themselves, see what comes up. (I've got one oopsie with my work email that I'd prefer to do without but can't seem to fix it, other than that I'm clean).
I generally shoot for three layers. If you put in my name (either how I use it casually or in business), generally nothing will come up. If you add my name + my email, or my name +, say, Camarilla; you can get some things, but nothing too serious. Someone would have to do my name, + Camarilla, +Vladimir to find anything I'd honestly be worried about. And at that point, they already know enough anyways, right? =)

Does that make sense?
