I agree that the positive outweighs any concern about DP and ad intrusion. I mainly like the deal because of the example it sets for turning a Web 2.0 concept into a useful, paying business - we don't see that often enough online. Thanks for coming by.

Indeed, data portability issues are something we've generally paid close attention to, at the very least as users of the multiple social networks out there. When it comes to attention data, it's interesting to explore the possibility. Marshall Kirkpatrick over at Read/WriteWeb sets the conversation up nicely - I tend to think the value to users and in fact anyone is less in the raw clickstream than in the many unique ways it can be processed and give value back to users.
