Disqus released an interesting infographic about the state of blog comments. Wait...blog comments? How interesting could that possibly be? The answer is...very. I recently wrote about the State of the Blogosphere and as you can see, blogging is very much alive and clicking.
One of the most interesting debates in the blogosphere and social media in general has been the discussion of anonymity in commentary and whether or not it adds to or takes away from the value of the conversation. Now discuss adds a new dimension to the dialog by exploring the role of pseudonyms in online commentary. To be clear, a pseudonym is a ficticious name chose by the commenter. And, as you can see, they account for 61% of the overall comments while anonymous commenters total 35%. It's very interesting to see that only 4% of all commentors use their real name.
Additionally, the average commenter using a pseudonym contributed 6.5 times more than anonymous commenters and 4.7 times more than commenters identifying with Facebook credentials.
