Attention is Eyeballs 2.0. See: supr.c.ilio.us/blog/2005/...-attention/

I've got it running right now. You can actually store your clickstream locally and not share it w/any one if you don't want to. It's interesting to see all that's collected. It also provides a toggle on the navigation toolbar that lets you turn it on and off.

Considering that so many sites and ad networks are already tracking this sort of info on us, it's nice to imagine that perhaps it doesn't have to be that way. That perhaps we can take control of our own info and begin providing it to those we choose. Even consider the idea of having this mandated through legislative action as a means to address privacy issues, where citizens can begin deciding who they will share their clickstream info with, and one can imagine economic models developed around businesses making it desirable for one to share this information willingly.

You did it again, Phil.

Your post led me on a three hour journey; a very worthwhile journey, too. Thank you.
