Hopefully I'm not the only one feeling uncomfortable with this. I mean it's okay for advertisers to know some info about me - but everything?

- emehrkay 14y agoThe internet always takes it a step too far.
- rcush 14y agoIt looks as though this site is not able to track individual people, but only companies. I'd guess they're doing this by querying each visitor IP with a database of known IP addresses used by companies. If so, it's not particularly sinister, not particularly useful, and not particularly accurate. The discussion being had here - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4891637 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4891637 - deals with a site that is allegedly identifying visitors individually somehow, most likely through something to do with social media. However, I'm skeptical.
