I came across Clutzr recently, which offers a social networking service that allows people to view your clickstreams (essentially where you’ve been on the web). In other words, the public at large can basically monitor every move you make on the Internet. And yet rather than consider this a really BAD idea, the makers wrapped a cute blue bubble around their package and calls it a whole bowl of delicious fun.

I know there are privacy settings that you can add, but gees. If I were doing some innocuous surfing, that’s one thing, but if I’m having a really bad day and I’m googling the keywords “how to hire a hitman,” I probably don’t want too many people to know about it. Besides, do I really want to spend a day surfing online dating sites like I usually do, with the knowledge that people viewing my clickstream will be snickering at my desperation, and then rolling over with laughter when my hours of love searching finally leads me to an article titled Loneliness: Bane of the Christian Single?

I think not.
