That holds water.
You
also asked for our thoughts, so here's that. Both philosophies have
demonstrated an ability to attract hordes of people. We see Facebook
having people embrace their identities and similar non-anonymous sites
create connection where they wouldn't otherwise exist. Then you look at a
site like 4chan that has this culture of disliking --shunning -- anyone
who displays one iota of uniqueness. Look at how we generally treat
tripfags and camwhores. This culture seems to affect our users in such a
way that it forms a hefty part of their identity, like those guys you
see on youtube who can't seem to stop spouting memes.
I guess
what I'm getting at is, 4chan is fun, but the "anonymous concept," as
you put it, can have a really huge negative affect. Whereas, aside from
the odd facebook fite, social networking only tends to bring people
together. |
