Alex Barnett has an interesting post with this title discussing some of the privacy implications of treating your browsing history into actionable data about to what you pay attention on the web. Check it out. I had a related post back in February (The "new Hoover" and attention metadata) about access to our attention metadata by legal and government authorities. Privacy was appropriately a big deal to the framers of our Bill of Rights. We shouldn't loan ours out without a means to recall it or without controlling how it's used. --Dennis
