This is a fascinating idea and comment thread—thanks!
Aside from the main point of your post (which is intriguing), I really like hearing about someone besides me who is habituated to having multiple internal voices.
If you ever decide you'd like some fairly serious exposure for the Buy Twitter Kickstarter idea, you might try sending it to copperbadge on tumblr, possibly for his regular weekly "Radio Free Monday" public service blog post. Last I heard, he had something like 20,000 followers, and he might get a kick out of the idea.
BUT! I will totally understand if you prefer not to spread the idea farther, because of the possible risks.
I wonder if the combination of making a new account and posting from somewhere like a public library internet station might be sufficient for preserving anonymity. I don't know. And I don't know who to ask about that.
I might possibly know someone who'd know someone who'd know about the business law questions—let me know if you'd like me to pursue such a connection, and, if so, whether you'd like me to link the first person in the potential contact chain to this blog post, or if you'd like me to float the general idea without identifying you in any way.
...This discussion about public good online makes me think back to the Community Memory Project, which I was peripherally associated with, back in the 1980s. (I was an employee of a for-profit software startup that was intended to benefit Community Memory. Like most startups, it didn't last too long, and I don't think it ever turned a profit. But I learned—and was exposed to—a lot, there. Interestingly, the Wikipedia article linked above has only the barest reference to CM after the 1970s, and none at all to the failed startup that was intended to benefit it. I wonder if the omission was on purpose, or if the wiki page's content suppliers just didn't know about the later happenings.)
