Until I saw this list on paper I had assumed a "so what" stance on web tracking. When I see how many places are tracking my web browsing and gathering information about me, it starts to look a lot more sinister.

On your advise I downloaded 'Do Not Track Plus', however I did not realize they furnished names of those tracking until I read you here and as with you, there's a bunch of them, all to make a buck. Makes you realize the extent people will go to mine information. It's not that we write or say anything important in this endeavor but they track the sand from our travels searching for that fleck of gold. Sinister yet interesting.
Big brother is not only watching---he is taking an active role. This list is scary.
