Tor should deal with the technical side, as the network latency makes everything happen at dial-up speed (or at least it does for me) and exit routers won't know anything about your ISP connection. However, linguistic fingerprinting is a much more plausible threat, especially for those whose writing style is particularly distinctive. For instance, I typically use few abbreviations, few contractions, long sentences and lots of commas, which makes me stick out a mile on services like Twitter. It takes a lot of effort to fake errors when you're naturally anal. I guess there's potential for a tool that takes text and mangles it. Of course, natural language processing is one of those dark arts that requires animal sacrifices and mutant fairy dust. The mutated fairies I can manage, but blood stains everything...
