two interesting things in this article from Poynter:
1) “real identity” is described as “verified by Facebook”
2) “many news sites have been using [Facebook’s plugin] to verify identity… and raise the level of discourse”
I’m ISO any research that correlates “raising the level of discourse” and “real identity”. It’s for #hate.

How has the most revolutionary innovation of our time - the Internet - transformed our world? What does it mean for the modern family? How has it changed our concepts of privacy? Of celebrity? Of love, sex and hate?
This is the online reporter's notebook for The Untangling the Web column in The Observer newspaper and the Untangling the Web book, published September 2012 by Guardian Books.
It's the collection of interviews, links, photos, videos and brainstorms that are feeding this compendium of the latest research about the social effects of the online world.
