A List Apart: Articles: Anonymity and Online Community: Identity Matters
I have an article up over at “A List Apart,” one of the most respected websites for Web developers. If you’re someone interested in the phenomenon of online behavior and communities, this is a good article to check out.
Many popular websites such as Wikipedia offer little differentiation between the experience and tools available to registered users and to anonymous visitors. Many active users of such websites may, therefore, be virtually unknown to their hosts. As most party hosts knows, it’s usually the people who just “show up” and that you don’t know who can create the biggest headaches.
