There are actually a number of very good reasons for doing this - not just to maintain privacy, but also because taking on a regular online persona allows us to pursue trains of thought and behaviours (not bad, just different to our normal ’self’) that can spur creativity. Momus has a good piece about this on his blog, and in his Wired column. Nowadays, I’m running this blog under my real name as a way to develop an online presence, and to aid network-building. I need to work a bit harder at it, maybe: the Fast Company article refers to a site, ZoomInfo, which provides filtered, relevant information on individuals’ online presence, for use by employers.

Removing vanity certainly factors in to commodification. After all, seeking to differentiate yourself is a vain act, relative to "just" blending in with the crowd. To say nothing of the vanity inherent in seeking link love. Sorry to be a wet blanket about your post, but I had to chase rawhide about this. My problem.
