I don't get it. Isn't Google already tracking, evaluating, and sharing our web browsing info? Sounds too much like the old "AOL/Pepsi" e-mail for my taste.

it's a chance to actually get your voice heard by google.

For $5 I will download but not use it :>

I'm a huge google fan so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Google is going to show you ads when you go to a Google site wether you like it or not. That's how they make money. The way I see it you have 2 choices you can be private and get ads that don't pertain to you. Or you can let them have your data and get ads that are relevant to you.

I'm curious what all the fear around privacy is about. Google isn't selling your data to spammers. In fact they pride themselves on blocking spam in Gmail and even in google Voice.

Google, I'm pretty sure you don't want to know what websites I browse and how I use them...not only that, but even though I block ads, I'd really hate to see what kind of ads would show up.

@zuiquan: You mean like millions of people just did during the superbowl, and even before and after it on the internet?

I'll get the sign up $5 and go back to my boring life...

@stark: You do understand that there is a difference between banner ads and pop-ups and ads produced for television and the internet in video form, don't you? I know English is a hard language to parse at all times but I thought I expressed myself pretty clearly and my meaning should have been plain.

@zuiquan: Well, I don't know how you could argue that you did express yourself clearly, since in your follow up you referred to both types as "ads" and only made the distinction by describing them. Descriptions that you did not have in your original comment, thus not providing the clarity that you seemed to think was automatically expressed by using the word "ads"

Then again, maybe it was just a stupid thing to say to begin with, seeing as how advertisements are everywhere because they work, despite you being too smart to look at them.

Two shopping malls were required to scuttle plans to track shopper's activity via their mobile phones last Nov. Too often lately we see stories of large business prying into our affairs so it can sell more goods. Now Google, though a new program, is attempting to go clean about this by paying you for spying on your online activities. But it's not paying a lot.
