In addition to demonstrating their invasive and greedy - TopicsExpress



          

In addition to demonstrating their invasive and greedy motivations, this move by Facebook also is evidence that they missed Social Media History 101 class. Back in the late 90s Friendster tried to mandate displaying real names which led to a huge exodus to MySpace and Tribe. The move is morally wrong, but its also getting it wrong. From day one, a key principle of Internet culture has been allowing us to define ourselves. We pick usernames, create avatars, and decide if/how we want to re-invent ourselves. Facebook may be free but we arent obligated to use your services if you start acting like the DMV. So... What should my drag name be? Im taking suggestions here and will change my profile name to the winner. I encourage all my friends to do the same.
