[...] Real name sites are necessarily inadequate for free speech [Bernie Hogan] – Important take on real names: “Offline people say things appropriate to the group they are in. That doesn’t mean they are two-faced, insincere or liars. It means people are context aware. People observe walls, clocks, furniture, fashion and music. These things guide us as to the appropriate way of acting. The guy writing his novel at the bar on Friday night is out-of-place. The guy who shows up to work drunk on Monday morning has a problem. Offline people don’t have to worry about their real name, because their behavior is tied to the context and the impressions the foster in that context. In fact, I’ll say that even more strongly – if your speech is not confined to the context you are in – but available to a potentially unknowable audience – you are online. This is why real name sites are necessarily inadequate. They deny individuals the right to be context-specific. They turn the performance of impression management into the process of curation.” [...]

please visit, vote and spread the word to try to put pressure on google to change this policy.

Great work, Bernie! I was thinking about conducting something like this in Tokyo after my own hard flat-searching experience.

Hi Bernie. You have a very interesting blog. I am approaching the same subject from a more commercial background. I am currently blogging on the subject at personalnetwork.wordpress.com. Would it be possible to chat/meet up? Email is philobr@gmail.com – and by coincidence I am in Oxford tomorrow (Friday) to meet with the Chairman of a company I have an investment in. Best wishes. Phil

Wonderful!
Lots and lots of lovely people.

Let Godfrey loose on this and see what happens. In fact, why not let anyone compose ‘the bigger picture’ ?
You have my permission to use my image.

What an immense amount of work.
Is it pure blue sky science if science at all?
Profile picture subjects/categories: Self, lanscape, animal, object, art, twoheads, multiple heads, self-adorned-emotional, animal and human, human and object, self and text.
The collage of profiles is wondefull. I wonder if one could use it as a living pallette by grouping and pushing about the profiles in an abstracted way. I would be very interested in doing an abstracted piece of work myself from the source material whose permission/s would I need? and how could one cooperate in acheiving this?

I’d love to see a grid arranged by hue. Not full size images, just 50×50 pixels.

There seems to be lots of blue (sky and sea?) and green (fields and trees?) so it’s nice that some Facebook users get outside now and then.

There doesn’t seem to be that much red. Why could that be?
