What's the advantage over renaming my network to "@mikeash", "twitter.com/mikeash", "http://mikeash.com/, or similar?


privacy and ease of use?


Privacy I could see, although it would be very easy to set up a new account just for my wifi if I was concerned about that. But ease of use? How is setting something up on a new web site easier than just using what I have already?


Ease of use in the sense that you don't need to monitor an additional twitter account or create a mail redirection to your email to receive messages.
