Comment on My Identity Crisis: Why can’t I be more than one thing on the web?parent

And easily managed on the web by having multiple twitter accounts or email lists.

I really don't see the issue, and I think that's why nobody has done anything about it.

One big issue for me is that I only have one name. I think it's asking too much of people trying to connect with me to have to choose between four Twitter accounts or 2-3 Facebook profiles.

I can't keep FaceBook (or most other social sites) in two tabs, each in a different account. As soon as you log in with the second account, refreshing the first tab will send you to the second account as well.

Most sites just don't support multiple logins.
