MyBlogLog scares the shit outta me

February 22, 2007 · Posted in Misc 

As I keep surfing through the blogosphere, I see more and more blogs using the MyBlogLog widget.  While I understand the curiosity factor and the lure of identifying and trying to connect with a blog’s audience, I personally find it a bit scary.  Out of privacy concerns, I’ve refrained from registering on the site so far. Call me paranoid or whatever, I just feel better knowing that someone is not tracking which all sites I visit etc. Come to think of it, almost every other move I make online is being tracked by the search king, aka Google.

Will elaborate further in a follow up post later.

    So agree! I was once surprised to find myself added to a porn site network just because I once visited the site. They have this option to disable tracking your footprints but that’s so hidden in the options and its enables by default. But then do you realize that even Google Web History has this enabled :)
