Alright, GoogleMaps was one thing. Facebook was another. Now this: Spokeo. A "hyper"-aggregator of virtually every online community or social network that has public information up on the web. Simply put, for those of us that use these various tools (MySpace, Flickr, Blogger, etc.) throughout the day, every change in status, including just being logged in, will be compiled to a profile of you constantly being updated. Thus, your "friends" can keep track of almost every move you make online, and you theirs. I so don't give a shit that much about what someone I know, or likely don't really know that well, perhaps only online, is doing. It's too easy, anyway. Part of the fun in finding something out about someone (or something) is the hunt. Sissies.
