I recently had to drop a class at my university for winning an argument with the professor in regards to blogging my experiences in the class. I wanted her to be involved in this process, knowing as well that I didn't really need her permission. Well her response was not to help the process but to shut it down and make me promise that should I choose to stay in the course I cannot blog about it. We live in a world where people are just too scared of being honest online. I hate all the negativity that is surrounding digital personalities. I agree with the article, lets end the silence, anonymously if we have to. I am so happy to find this article.

That is the best part of internet...you can talk all you want and no one will know if you are their neighbor next door. I have a number of blogs and I remain anonymous for some of them.

Every once and a while I can't take it and post about issues in my home town, because I know I will take a top position in the search engines for it. Most sites from this location are still in the 90's. This is different and the same. My family lives here and my kids go to school here. We have had a little backlash. They can just find my name and look me up. This is the area of the country that pro-life supporters get pipe bombed for being evil and anyone who rocks the boat is evil to begin with. So there can be more than a job at stake. I blog about blogging, marketing, etc. But I also live in a very backwards part of the country.

I write about pretty tame stuff: travel, restaurants, and events. But I do intersperse my opinion on politics, media, and products - which CAN overlap with my day job. Rather than sanitize an issue I feel strongly about I'd simply not address it - if it would cause any concern for my welfare...

The creator of the Fake Steve Jobs blogged anonymously until his own company wanted to hire the guy behind the website... hire someone that already works for them.
