Scoble’s No Internet Anonymity Rule - http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r...
Morton Fox, Jimminy, Tim and 22 other people liked this
Or, what I think about it.
- Anthony Citrano
I would rather everyone be anonymous than no one.
- jeneane sessum
Gerard: as I said in the other thread this would be impossible to enforce so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
- Robert Scoble
I commented on your blog: 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.
- Colby Olson
Robert: I just think it's interesting that you want to abolish anonymity, that in itself is an odd thing to say, I suppose. Perhaps you could explain your reasoning?
- Colby Olson
Robert I think we all realize it would not be enforceable but what I'm going after is the idea behind it - that *were it enforceable*, it would be a good thing. To me, the underlying idea that anonymous speech is a bad thing and should be eliminated is rather authoritarian and terrifying.
- Anthony Citrano
Colby: everything that I have seen negative on the Internet is due to anonymity. Can you link to one positive thing? Mini Microsoft but even that would be much better if the guy who wrote it would sign his name.
- Robert Scoble
Anthony: well, I don't see it as a good thing. I have freedom of speech already and would die to defend that. Anonymity is for cowards.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, speaking out on the internet against oppressive governments is not a bad thing. And as I have stated previously, many revolutions start in anonymity. Again, rules of absolutism don't allow for both sides. Anonymity is a tool and it can be used for good and bad.
- Tim Finucane
Kind of a night of drastic comments from the Scobleizer, huh?? Everything negative on the internet is due to anonymity. Yikes thats a whole new round of overstatement. I love following you Robert and agree way more often than not but that's silly.
- Cody Heitschmidt
tim: what revolution started with anonymity? Certainly NOT the American one.
- Robert Scoble
It most definitely did start with secret meetings. The crown didn't know identities until after things got under way.
- Tim Finucane
Robert: You just spawned numerous blog posts and threads with that one. I agree with you up to a point. One of the two that I have blocked on FF was determined to be a troll and supposedly anon. However, there are many countries that speaking up and signing on the dotted line will get both your head and hand chopped off.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Cody is right. I did overstate that and I am sorry about that.
- Robert Scoble
Robert... i would follow you into the fire.. and here is why we all follow you: Your are passionate. Sometimes it gets in your way because you overstate things but then you admit you are wrong. A guy with 30,000 followers could be big headed enough not to admit something he said wasn't quite right. It's cool that a little guy in Ks can make a contrary statement at you and not just get blocked and you roll over him. Now admit you were wrong on the rule against anonymity too. lol just kidding.
- Cody Heitschmidt
The Internet is and should be about choice. You should be able to choose your level of anonymity. It is not one shoe fits all.
- Jauder Ho
Robert -- There is legitimate reason for anon speech, especially on the internet. What I think you really want is a "Personal Global Internet Filter" that allows the removal of the ugliest side-effects. Even looking to the American revolution, pen names and aliases were used countless times by the likes of Thomas Jefferson, et al. There is a legitimate purpose to it... the statement that no revolution was started by anonymous is a bit of a stretch.
- Mark Philpot
There are a ton of reasons for a person to use a pseudonym on the internet. Especially when you look at people in other countries who can only speak by being "nameless". I even have reasons for using a name that isn't my real name.
- Candace
Don't admit you were wrong on the rule unless you believe it... until you believe ! hehe lol Great freaking discussion who started this whole mess with the rule comment?
- Cody Heitschmidt
I believe it was started by Robert's response to Laura Fitton's question: "What one "rule" would you make about the Internet?"
- Tim Finucane
i'm sorry he's wrong or right depending i've been batting this question lately and i use the internet not to shield who i am but to get people to talk to me who wouldn't do to disability. and if i ever meet any net folks in RL my hope is that they will be over it quicker due to knowing I'm capable and cool to begin with
- Cecil Sandus
To all those under pseudonyms: Why? Are you truly in fear of reprisal? @Dtrizzle a link to your blog profile quickly reveals you. @Corvida do you have a reason?
- Mathew A. Koeneker
@Robert Scoble (scobleizer): What's so negative about my blog? Well, other than the fact that I don't apply myself. Sorry, there've been too many firings and too many "we won't hire you" situations because of uptight control freaks in power who can't stand employees who have their own minds. Anyone who really desires it can find out who MiniMage is, but I feel the better for not broadcasting my real name, and so do my parents.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
from NoiseRiver
well said Mage
- Cecil Sandus
One rule for the internet is that all data is equal. The second rule is that there are no other rules. I think Scoble's idea of not anonymity is becoming more a reality with people's lives becoming intertwined with their online identity. I would like to preserve anonymity for whistle blowers, etc. Anonymity is a tool that can be used or abused.
- Erik Weese
Pseudonyms mean nothing. People do find out who you are. I spent two days in a courtroom reading my blog entries aloud that were posted under a pseudonym. If you don't want people to read what you write, buy a pen and a blank journal and stick it under your mattress.
- Trish R
MiniMage many many more people have been hired for their blogs than fired for them and I can't think of an instance where someone who was fired wasn't behaving stupidly. We have a whole chapter in our book about that.
- Robert Scoble
yes Dtrizzle that makes sense to me and Trish as for your idea it's an oldie but a goodie...
- Cecil Sandus
corvida isn't anonymous. I have talked with her on the phone. Minimicrosoft is pretty anonymous but I know at least one person who knows who he is.
- Robert Scoble
Dtrizzle - The bit on your educational background while perfect for a resume can provide an easy way to start skip-tracing you. Not that I am. Just one of the little tricks I learned where tech meets accounting.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
it is amazing the conversations that can start with a simple word or two. I am at a wedding with people who have left Iran to get the freedom of speech so understand well the problems with using your real name. One guy here was in Iranian prisons for years. He is not afraid to stand up in public against injustice.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert Scoble (scobleizer): Do you remember the Chronicle of Higher Education article where someone talked about being on an interview committee? These EDUCATED folks attitudes were explained thus, "Several committee members expressed concern that a blogger who joined our staff might air departmental dirty laundry (real or imagined) on the cyber clothesline for the world to see.

Scoble I think he was referring to the fact that I don't use my real name online at all. As for the person who asked why, because I don't want people Googling me. I like to keep my personal life separate from my online life. Same person, different interactions and I don't want them overlapping in any way, shape, or form.
- Corvida
@Corvida - Why keep yourself so fragmented? Then you have to remember who you with whom. I am with Robert for the most part on this one. You instantly gain more respect from me if your are proud enough of your name to attribute ALL of your actions whether in the VW or RW to it. You are an American are you not? Unless, you have a TS like my folks then who or what are you hiding from. Telling me that it is just a personal choice is a cop out. @Dtrizzle gives some valid rationale for his decision.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
There are certain place on the net that you NEED anonymity !! Take a look at some Forums that ONLY focus on vulnerability disclosures. Each and every one of them is only known by a handle. Chances that you actually associate a handle w/ real name /face is near impossible.
- Peter Dawson
I could argue the same. Most in my situation do take that approach. My disease is just that a disease. It is what it is. Like I commented earlier there can be valid reasons; I just wanted to hear Corvida's rationale both from a personal interest as she is just another human being as well as from the pov of the well known blogger.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Interesting convo. I actually talked to Mark Hopkins about this. He brought his anon handle into his identity. I've kept mine apart. I don't agree with no one being anonymous; I happily existed online for years and can still write about personal issues and my children without compromising their (or my) privacy.
- Cyndy
I vote for anonymity. If you are anonymous and threatening though, realize that I also support using every tracking method possible to make a community safer. People can not yell "FIRE" in a crowded room. I can not call my neighbor a "RAPIST" just because I feel like it. Regulated Free Speech is ok. Unregulated free speech is not, just as I can not go around town physically hitting anyone I want to ("Freedom of Action").
- Mitchell Tsai
The vast majority of my college friends (Harvard 1982-89, age 40-50) are still petrified of Facebook due to Corvida's concerns - and I have mostly techy friends. There are discussions on our alumni boards (on & off Facebook) about all the potential career dangers. About 30-40% of my college friends are on LinkedIn because they understand resumes & how you can control the presentation of...

- Anthony Citrano
Paragraph marks in a comment would work too. I don't like how everything runs together in one comment...
- Mitchell Tsai
@Robert people tend to act differently online than they do in real-life, anonymous or not. They perceive a disconnect between their online profile and life. Makes people be more direct, confrontational, and sometimes hostile. They don't feel bound by the same social rules (have respect for each other).
- Alexander van Elsas
I can fully understand that some wish to be anonymous on the web. But thinking that the things you do online are disconnected from your offline life is stupid. I am not anonymous online and I am aware that my interactions are always visible.
- Alexander van Elsas
Resurrected because of this: http://friendfeed.com/rww...

I'll just add here that I don't agree that we should chop off our whole arm but if someone can point the finger and label me negatively knowing full well that I am public and not hiding behind a fake avatar, I should be able to see who is doing the labeling and so should the community since the insult was brought to the community's attention by the hiding labeler/harasser.

This is a long thread and I may have missed it in a later response, but what about people finding you in person through the internet? I play WoW and my guild leader was stalked by someone who knew only her first name, state, and profession. He called her and flew to her area to find her. This is just a simple case of a nut job, but the internet is full of them. When you bring other countries, with less freedom into the mix things just get messier.
- Heather
The thing is, he never defined his terms either. Is creating a bogus account and logging in through a proxy for a one-time flame the same as using a long-term pseudonym for mostly constructive purposes? I think not. There are so many good and valid reasons for not living completely transparently.
- LogEx
@Anthony it's your opinion that you found the Imus thing BS and I'm not talking about when people's feelings get hurt, I disagree in cases where someone can get physically hurt, here is an example.

- Jeunelle Foster
WOW. I was trying to figure out why I had this pop up from a year ago. I still pretty much side with The Scoblezier with a few exceptions. If you are blogging, chatting, or even surfing on-line....odds are pretty good that a determined individual or govt entity can find you out. You may think that you are "anon" but in reality you are not at all. Plus, I have a lot less respect for folks esp in this country that are unwillling to put their real names in their posts.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
I didn't feel like cutting and pasting so sorry. But if you think that your on-life persona is somehow sacred and secure from your real life identity then you have some harsh realities to wake up to. This is the information age people.

Thanks guys, but I'm kinda confused. Why do people pay for SEO optimization then? And discuss how to drive traffic if Wordpress solves all those problems...
- Mona Nomura
We wordpress.com folks don't worry about SEO optimization. We don't have ads.
- Hutch Carpenter
Of course, WP is not the end all solution, but it does help. If you want more continuous/constant traffic to your site and regular high Google rankings - instead of one-timer, keyword based traffic, than you would want to look more into SEO. But that's just my experience... where's Charlie A. when you need him? :)
- Tim Hoeck
Because some of us host on our own servers, Mona. We have to do all the work WP does.

But wouldn't that be a bigger headache? I mean it sucks I can't customize or use plug-ins and make my blog all pretty, but I would've never imagined I'd be indexed by Google or like... have as much as traffic as I do, just from Wordpress. It's so bizarre!!!

You don't have to be on wordpress.com for the WP software to help with SEO, but it certainly doesn't hurt. Additional SEO would just improve your stats.

What Shawn said. Fall in love first, become physically attracted as a consequence next.

That's such an intellectual question. Show us a picture. But my guess is no way. Would women be able to fall in love with a man they don't find attractive? Why? You can't decided to fall in love, it just happens.

personality is key because that's what keeps the chemistry going
- Anthony Farrior
I don't know. Probably.
- Internet's Tad
With each passing year, instant physical attraction happens less and less for me. I find myself physically attracted to interesting people--really. So, I guess that's a YES to the question.

With strangers, generally, there has to be physical attraction... after all, why else would you want to meet them. But I've had friends who I didn't find attractive at all and, over time, you develop a strong attraction and then want nothing more than to be with them.

no, but because of what shawn said :-). a semantic game, i suppose. but if i'm not physically attracted to you, we are not in love. that doesn't mean i can't/won't adjust my idea of what's attractive. but i don't think you can have one w/o the other.

@Lindsay Would you meet someone on-line without viewing a photogragh?
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
@Mark, no, but I probably wouldn't agree to meet them unless we'd spent a lot of time talking and getting to know each other either... What's inside is more important in the long-run. Not to say physical attraction isn't a necessary component of success in a relationship but there are other things that are a lot more crucial (in my opinion).
- Lindsay
"We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities." - Thomas Mann
- Bora Zivkovic
@Lindsay I just think there has to be some, some, ah, spark to get the ball rolling. Perhaps I am being myopic (been known to happen from time to time). And I agree that physical attraction is but one of a myriad of components that make a relationship successful. Trust comes to mind as a more important one...
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
@Mark - Maybe it's easier for women to fall in love sight-unseen based on personality. Men tend to be more visually oriented. Women more stimulated by romance (which mainly includes having someone pay attention to us and listening to us... online is a good place for that). These days we have avatars... back in "my day" of online relationships we just had text.
- Lindsay
umn, is "I honestly don't know" a valid answer?
- Capn' One Eye - adrift
@Lindsay Ultimately, if you intend to spend the rest of your life with someone you had better be compatible on many, many levels. Physical beauty wanes with time. I agree with the difference in the way (the majority of) men and women become attracted to each other, as well. And back in "my day" on-line was a place to put wet clothing...
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
I think the answer is no on that. But the levels of beauty is different for a lot of people. Some people dig some things while others dig other things. Like there is some females I think are beautiful that other people think are downright ugly. It's like what "cool" is to everybody. It's different. I mean that guys are very visual about things. And inner beauty can shine and change the view of a person. But there is still some visual in there.

@Mark - I agree - and I did connect with someone who I am compatible on many, many levels. We've been married more than 12 years now. I didn't see a picture of him until after we'd talked online for several weeks when I found out we had a mutual meatspace friend. I didn't meet him in person until we'd talked on line (not consistently) for more than a year. And I'd forgotten what that picture really looked like by then! I'm not sure if he'd seen a picture of me yet... Things worked out just fine. :)

- Stellina
Yes. It's happened, though it ended for other reasons.
- Leslie Poston
Yes but I realized it too late to make something of it. That would be the danger of there not being phy. attraction at the beginning - you don't see it coming, you only see it once it's miles behind you and then you go "oh fuck"

I think the question is backwards. Part of "falling in love" is feeling a physical attraction. Obviously, we can love people to whom we're not attracted - family members, friends, etc. But romantic love and physical attraction are pretty closely linked, no?

Don't be afraid. Be unafraid. Be bold. Be crazy. Be different. Burn your neckties. Give your suits to a homeless shelter. Wear black T-shirts. No matter what anyone working for you does, tell them it's not good enough. Tell them it's shit. Tell them they're shit. Threaten to fire them. Annoy your superiors. Irritate your colleagues. Insist on perfection, and then, when you get it, insist on making it more perfect. Got it? Good. Start today.

In my experience, it's a fallacy that sleeping pills help you sleep. They knock you unconscious, and you wake up 8 hours later still needing a night's sleep. You're better off taking some anti-histamines and cough remedy :-)
