I'm a technologist at heart with a passion for emerging products and early stage companies.  Simple timing put me in the right place at the right time and gave me several opportunities to help shape the Internet during its formative years.  My education came via hands-on product development, a stint at NYU and side-by-side work with some of the most innovative minds in software.

    Spyware you install on purpose

    DateFriday, September 15, 2006 at 4:47PM

    Seriously. This is spyware you install on purpose. And it is something you consciously do. It is also a pretty interesting idea.

    Google makes millions of dollars watching what you do online and then selling that information. It watches your search patterns and then throws up ads. It also trends your activities and then sells the leads. There are hundreds of companies doing this, and its about you and what you are doing.

    So what if you could record your little comings and goings and sell that data? Google's making money off of you, why not make some yourself? After all, it is YOUR DATA.
