It really is very good and easy to use. If you were a bit more creative and had great fun photo’s to work with you really could create some awesome comic strips. There are heaps of options and features that make them look great. I even matched the colour from right here on the blog for the border. Clever eh? But while you are here, humour us and yourselves and drop a caption in the comments, what is this guy thinking? Don’t worry this is just for fun here on the blog. We figure this is a visual thing so we think this is the best place for it.

No I don't think that was the intention. BUT, does it not do everything that spyware does do? The only difference is that it does it with your knowledge. If you voluntarily use it does that make it spyware? Probably not. But then that's only what you know about. I guess what concerns us is the stuff you don't. There is a fine line here. I stand by what I said in the show, that there are far better ways to gather information about what people are interested in without using software that logs EVERYTHING. So no it probably isn't spyware, not something I would want to have on my system though :) OK I’ll give you that. No I don’t think that was the intention.

Still with the amount of friends I don't have using Macs it's kinda pointless to sign up for it anyway.

Of course my Slife page would look boring....logged into Wow, logged out of Wow. Was looking at the how it works page and it had a screenshot of friends fav websites and ad.doubleclick.net was in the middle. That seems very odd or people just click on anything nowadays :P Look forward to listening to show on way home.
