Seems like an opportunity for a browser plugin designed to enforce pseudonymity. You can already create different pseudonymous identities via cookie management or different user profiles.[1]
The problem with this approach is that it's inconvenient to keep switching back and forth. And all it takes is one inadvertent click to irreversibly associate your two pseudonyms. This is where a plugin could help. Basically, it just comes with very basic set of rules -- if YouTube, I am X; if Gmail, I am Y; else I am Z. For bonus points, integrate with Tor.
Anyone know of something like this already? Might be a fun weekend project otherwise.
