At the risk of sounding idealistic and spoiled with freedom and lack of commitments (which is, well, accurate right now), I'm not sure I'd want to work for an employer who wouldn't hire me because of something I've posted on the internet.
It's the 21st century. Yeah, a lot of my life is on the internet and relatively easy to find. It's almost like having a free, instant private investigator for all of your potential employees. But do you really want to work for a place that not only sets a PI on you, they put weight in what he reports when they know it might not be totally accurate?
For people who do need a job a bit more than I do, that is a concern — and I wouldn't advocate against pseudonymity because life is not always nice and simple.

That's why I am very careful about my identity online. I have no problems with finding jobs right now, but who knows where I'll be in 10 years?
