However I do not require that same level of identification on this blog.

  • Is it the content is different?
    I am not sure that is the case as I am aware that one can take something out of context and the idea of some obfuscation on the Internet.
  • Is it that I take more time to craft a blog post so it has more “content”, more signal to noise, so I am prouder of it?
    That could be, but I am sure that Malcom Gladwell would say I am doing it wrong. But then again I disagree with Gladwell.
  • Is it that it is easier to protect a Twitter feed than it is a self hosted blog?
    I am sure I can find a solution for that, make it a forum feed, require logging in… etc.

Any ideas or comments as to why? Should I unprotect my Tweets?
