Comment on Disqus Research: Pseudonyms Drive Communitiesparent

Comments

If I may offer a suggestion, perhaps mention that pseudonyms generally tend to be long-held identities - a lot of people think that pseudonyms are just throw-away identities used to gossip about your employer safely, instead of identities that persist for months, years or even decades. (A lot of people would recognize the handle CmdrTaco, but how many know his real name?)

"pseudonyms generally tend to be long-held identities - a lot of people think that pseudonyms are just throw-away identities used to gossip about your employer safely, instead of identities that persist for months, years or even decades."

A fact too often forgotten. This is the same ignorance that keeps me from using Google+ while I'm prolific on Twitter.
