The Cosmic Tap: Scoble’s No Internet Anonymity Rule

I think anonymity is both a horrible thing and a great tool, it depends on how it's used. In some countries complete anonymity is needed, otherwise they would be put to death or jail. I find its far more respectable when someone puts a real name and face to their opinion, though it isnt always needed.

Many discussions may be made richer by opinions/thoughts/views shared by those who - for whatever reason - prize their anonymity. The question is, would you deprive us of the value such people might bring simply because they are unwilling to shed their anonymity? Does anonymity always devalue the poster's content?

Mr. Scoble thinks everyone is mad (or should be mad) about online identity and interaction as he is. ;-)
We need to have in mind who Robert Scoble is - someone who built his online and offline persona by publicizing volumes of information that one IT news agency would gladly like to.
Except in edge cases like Scoble's, it makes perfect sense to retain control over traces of our online activities remain public or private. After all, it takes some time to test the online waters and understand the implications to privacy or lack thereof.
