I'd never heard of 4chan before reading the article for class. It's really interesting how anonymity can bring out the best or, perhaps more often, the worst in people. I was going to check out 4chan but from how people described it in class, due to the open and yet anonymous nature of the site, it is very difficult to find anything of interest among the meaningless chatter and pornographic images.

I liked how the article compared anonymous sites, like 4chan, were compared to the psychological id, google was compared to the ego, and Facebook, the superego.
