Well don't impose your standards on everyone else. Some people do expect a degree of privacy online. And some expect to be able to participate in our community pseudonymously. And some people care a lot about only using free software or not relying on SaaS. (and those groups may overlap with eachother) None of those people should face extra hurdles participating in or contributing our community just because they care about those things. +1 to past statements about pushing one-way broadcasts over the wall from free and open places like the blog or lists (+1 btw) but then referring people back to the source of that post and not engaging them inside the wall. That's exactly the right balance. Google plus / hangouts will never be used by some people and some people will avoid them and only use them with special google accounts made just for that service. (or maybe even an account made just for that day) Having to create extra Google accounts is an unacceptable imposition. (I have personally made single-use google accounts twice. other hangouts I've participated in by anonymously viewing a hangout on air (via youtube) and there are definitely some I missed because I didn't want to bother messing with accounts.) -Jeremy _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freeculture.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss FAQ: http://wiki.freeculture.org/Fc-discuss
