This week, I had the pleasure of attending a talk given by Brendan Hodgson on crisis communications in the new digital environment. Very worthwhile; lots of food for thought.
One of the threads running through his presentation was on anonymity. The gist more or less being: anonymous blog posts or comments have very little authority, and as such don’t need to be taken too seriously. So if some random anonymous hater slags you or your organization online, it’s really not something to get yer knickers in a knot over. In fact, responding to these folks could make things worse.
Which reminded me of this:

Man I love that graphic. So funny, so true. (And as I’ve recently discovered, also so very old, but who cares?)
Update: Brendan has also blogged another question that arose during his talk – on a topic that’s near and dear to every federal communicator’s heart: official languages.
What's a spaghetti test?
Hey Peter, thanks for jumping into the discussion…
By the way, I love the graphic. I am stealing it.
[...] making an edit to a Wikipedia entry or posting a comment on a blog, identify yourself up front. The optics of anonymity are bad enough for private citizens, but they are magnified for public [...]
I began this discussion to discuss public usable web proxies:
Which are really anonymous?
Which can unblock facebook, myspace etc, in other words: are fresh ?
Which would you recommend?
Thanks for your help,
Dschibut
P.S.: In my land, the freedom of speech is somehow limited, please give me a hint, if you are not sure about your recommendation.
