I've a .com domain with my name since 2001, and another .com with my family name too. My first daughter also has her name with a .com. I used to write a lot everywhere, very publicly, and every other thing in between. Now, I write lot less, obfuscate a lot of information, that goes public.

No, I don't think, everyone should have a domain. The Internet has become a minefield of entities and people who cannot stand to have good things, lot more than people who are good by default.

Domains comes with a lot of responsibility to maintain it the right way. It is like maintaining a pet -- you need to tend to it to have it the way you want. Forget domains, most of the population do no have a clue how their emails are supposed to be and in fact, quite a lot of people think "gmail" is what email is.
