23. I don't use my real name on Facebook. Well, I do, but I have other identities.

Mon Sep 17, 2012, 02:11 PM

Sep 2012

all you need is a gmail account. (or hotmail, whatevs) and a fake name for each account.

My fake identity has more "friends" than my real one. I seem to have collected a lot of liberal minded people since I can post what I want without fear of offending friends and family.

My observation: Go for it.
