Maybe I'm just missing something but does anyone else here not give a flying fuck about the "real name fiasco"? What's so damn bad about using your real name? Can't be an internet tough guy when you have to use your real name? The most I think all Google should do is allow you to use a screen name for following purposes but still show your real name as well (kind of how Twitter has the screen name and name fields.)

- Privacy considerations

- Identity theft

- Stalking

Yeah, because Facebook is SO private, and completely devoid of impostors and stalkers.

Honestly, if this is the worst that anti-googlers can come up with, well... it isn't much.

I'm not anti-Google; they virtually own my entire life (slightly scary). I still think they fucked up over the real name issue.

In facebook one can at least use nicknames, and it doesn't force you to link everything to your account (picasa, youtube, email, etc).

One can have no real data searchable in facebook.

I'm no anti-nothing, by the way. Grew up past that long ago.
