Discarded the chaff (the, at, is etc)
Now it starts getting harder to narrow down.
Discarded generic words that would probably not be relevent (service, data, posted etc)

And i'm left with:

Phorm
Media
Dephormation
NTLVictim
Webwise
BT
roadrunner69
Paul
Delaney
Cable
software
VM
ISP
ICO
government
warescouse
Sky
video
davethejag
Joe
Phone
Google

Even from this, very limited test, and disregarding the url its possible to identify several people (at least by user name (Paul Delaney?), who's political views (at least with regard to privacy matters) are known.
Once the inevitable function creep comes who knows where it will lead.
I'll try the same thing on a more personal site when I get time.
With my name any websites i have about me would have them thinking I was on about the town called Florence.. So I presume i wil get adverts related to that, nice one and irrelvant.

None of those are my real name either




EDIT: I even use an alias on Facebook for Christs Sake!
I used to have a fake name but due to problems caused by one ex member of this forum and an admin on thinkbroadband I was told I had to change my fake name so I was in a mood and just used my real name...
