Definitely see what you're saying.

Two things:

One is that it would lose the "I'm everyone" feel, as now there are identities of the authors.

Second part would be that just because you would use Facebook Connect to authenticate wouldn't mean that you would have to use their personal info on their post - they could choose between using their own info and using an alias that gives no tie back to who they are. Would just have to work on messaging so that people aren't scared away by the Facebook Connect logo.

Oh yeah, I get that: FB just to prove you're a real person and tag you to something other than an IP and cookie. Still anonymous.

True: re how to focus that - I'm all ears.
