What is the relationship between anonymity and emotional intimacy online?

Asked by zweinz (66points) April 8th, 2010

People often connect most strongly with anonymous postings, like PostSecret and FML. But how does anonymity affect the impact and intimacy of these postings—does lacking a face make it less genuine? Or more impactful (perhaps because it lets you fill in the face yourself)?
