<div dir="auto">Hey Cass,<br>
<br>
That’s great! Looking forward to hearing about your efforts as well. <br>
<br>
It’s been a few years so I’ll need to locate/de-scatter the resources and send them over once I do.<br>
<br>
I’m glad that there’s interest as I was so thrilled when I discovered it all—especially in that there was some research on identity happening concurrently with nascent online culture. <br>
<br>
Be well,<br>

<br>
Interesting topic! I’m looking forward to hearing more and seeing your resource pool. <br>
<br>
I can share a few things including:<br>
<br>
• a collection of discussions/newsletters from when FidoNet SysOps were heavily debating the enforcement of "real name" policies in the early 1990s<br>
<br>
• several journal articles also from the BBS era exploring how beneficial handles ("second lives" as one author declared) were for LGBTQ, at-risk, and bullied youth to freely explore their authentic self<br>
<br>
I’ll reach out directly soon.<br>

<br>
I am interested in learning more about the history of identity systems<br>
on computer networks. From finger to CompuServe IDs to Twitter handles.<br>
Any advice for resources?<br>
<br>
I am most interested in the design trade-offs made for each system.<br>
Priorities may include memorability, ease of administration, anonymity,<br>
user flexibility, findability, uniqueness, and cultural issues that<br>
relate to self identification or identification in society.<br>
<br>
Any research that pertains to these issues is much appreciated. While I<br>
have your attention, I'll also ask if anybody would like to anecdotally<br>
share any particularly absurd or well-conceived identity systems they<br>
have encountered.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
