... to a statistically irrelevant bunch of geeks. Watch Skype deploy a not- terribly-anonymous (to the people running the Skype servers) communications system. Watch the entire world not care, and flock to it in droves. Heck, the entire business model for social networking, one of the biggest Internet phenomena in the last few years, is built around users being as non-anonymous as possible. So Alec's argument still stands. It's pretty hard selling anonymity and privacy to people who think nothing of sending Twitter updates of everything they do all day long to anyone prepared to listen and posting videos of their drunken antics to MyFace.
