Swatting

Is this a rhetorical question? Because in reality, putting your personal information on the internet is actually quite common place. Just to which degree?

you have an online portfolio? resume? Job hunted? freelanced? bought anything from anywhere on the internet? online documents, bill pay, paypal, social media. All these little avenues, you're putting up your personal information, and guess what? all of that can be tracked.

There's even a website that monitors your email address and uses it to display specific advertisements on your screen.
 
Your inability to detect sarcasm is disconcerting.

More to the point, who associates their real life information with their online pseudonyms?
 
It's ironic that you would find that disconcerting.

But to answer your next question: when more and more apps are asking you to log on via twitter, facebook, disqus, google +, etc. It's not hard to do just what you're asking.
 
I've done it fine for years, I'll never understand what people's obsession is with airing out their dirty laundry in public.
