What kind of info are you more willing to share anonymously?
Are people more honest online when no one knows what they are? What types of info are people more reserved to share when not anonymous? What type of info are they comfortable sharing?

I am a practitioner of what I call “consistency of self.” Basically, whatever I would share with you face to face is exactly what I would share with you online, anonymously or not.
Same goes for my personality, my opinions, etc. I am the same me no matter where me happen to be.
I think to do otherwise is cowardly and/or deceptive quite frankly.
This does not, however, discount the idea of “time and place”, meaning you converse with certain people certain ways out of respect or appropriateness.
I share everything here and on similar sites, but I delete and start a new profile every once in a while to keep from having everything be connected to one profile.
I don’t share much on Facebook because it’s dangerous except in personal messages with friends, but I don’t really trust that either sometimes.
If I know you in person I don’t say much, but if I’m in a relationship I share pretty much everything with that person.
What kind of info?
I talk about my past relationships anonymously because I don’t want to tell everyone we know and have them gossip about my life.
I like that I’m anonymous on fluther and I can get opinions and reactions and learn without unwanted attention in my daily life.
I’m more open, bordering on venting a little. Time and place is infrequent and too short. Close relationships are more precarious than many of us realize. Not worth ruining over petty politics or opinions. I have done enough of that already.
Depends on how anonymous I am, and how much is any of it your business.
I’m more likely to share my mental health diagnosis’ and my weight :p
There is no anonymity.
I share on the net nothing more than I would share publicly IRL. I’m a pretty out-front guy in real life. If I like or dislike you, you know it right away.
Stuff I like to put up my butt.
