Expression, anonymity and (the illusion of) being heard

I have a lovely long Friday lunch with Justin McMurray last Friday. Our conversation revolved around these core needs of the human species.

The Internet is an ideal medium to satisfy all of these needs. It has opened up more avenues for individual expression than ever before, it offers anonymity (or at least a very good proxy of anonymity), and it allows everyone to be potentially heard by the world.

Relevant sites recommended by Justin:
Lost at e minor
PostSecret
We Feel Fine (this is a great use of rich media!)
FOUND Magazine
