I think you're misunderstanding Poole's stance on this. Zuckerberg seems to be pushing for a huge reduction in anonymity - maybe to the point of removing it altogether. That is definately because it would benefit him directly. Poole, though, is just saying that it would be a mistake to assume there's no value to anonymity. He's clearly not saying that everything should be anonymous, since, as pointed out in the article, he's also creating a new site that utilizes FB profiles.
