You can't have honest commentary without the ability for people to post anonymously. Unless your site takes countermeasures, people can still make up a name; wouldn't it be better to just let people be open with their anonymity? :)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but "real" names won't improve anything over fake names in terms of concern over one's reputation, but I can see advertisers lick their fingers for that data.
I think I would prefer a site like SoylentNews instead.

I doubt we'll be able to compete with Facebook in that market!
I have been posting under my real name for a long time. I even put my phone number on the web: 1-510-4PERENS. And my email's on my web site. It doesn't get me additional advertising. I do get additional advertising from what I look at on some store web sites, though.
