Yup. I meant to write that post two weeks ago when I did the poll, but got too busy.
This came about from comments on reddit. I gave it a lot of thought over the past few days and decided to pull the trigger.

Analytics. Google et al. also use it for personalization, though I never did that.

"Privacy conscious climate"? Are we using the same Internet? (The one with Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, etc...)
