Drink up folks nothing to see here.

This is honestly not a very big step.

At least you don't have too with Google unlike what the government is doing to your rights.

Pawn shop search

Actually, what I was saying is that Google already does a massive amount of tracking and pay users in "free" services. For instance, Fenway has it set up so that every time you go anywhere on INGunOwners.com, a tiny Javascript event fires and Google records information about your visit. Among other things, they record:
1. Where you came from (if you clicked a link)
2. Every click you make on INGunOwners.com
3. What search terms (if applicable) you used to get to the page
4. How long you spend on each page
5. What browser you use
6. What your screen resolution is
7. What your IP address is
8. Where you are located
9. What language you probably speak
10. How fast your internet connection is
11. How often you come here
etc., etc.

Or, put another way, Fenway allows Google to track all of our behavior for free website analytics.

In short, this program of paying people to track everything gives Google the ability to fill in some gaps, but they already track a huge amount of information. Most of the people in this thread have already sold their "privacy and liberties" by electing to use "free" products which provide Google with the ability to track our behavior.

Keep in mind that the sort of data accumulation mentioned is hardly exclusive to INGO. It's everywhere...

And outside of the internet, people are very easily found and can be tracked unless they constantly take steps to hide their identity and movements. Cameras are everywhere. Credit and debit sales record names, amounts, and items purchased at specific locations. Data collected from things like this are sold to companies that sell them to others. Cell phone companies sell customer data (phone numbers, email, addresses) to companies.

Very, very scurry. We can't play facebook games or use a public bathroom without someone somewhere recording our movements.

Did anyone really think the novel 1984 was just fantasy? Or that the government does not know what we are doing? Wise men have been creating dystopian worlds for decades and their visions of life under the domination of progressives are not pleasant. Two of the best, because of his intellectual power to confront the problem of evil (which is the fundamental problem the progressives are unable to comprehend or resolve), are C. S. Lewis' Perelandra and That Hideous Strength, the final two volumes of his theological science fiction Space Trilogy. They are worth, at the very least, a quick review:

Perelandra <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perelandra>

That Hideous Strength <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Hideous_Strength>

Much to learn here.

Oh, it's true, I assure you. I use Google tracking myself so I know the capability, and if you view your page source on INGO, right up toward the top you'll see:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-3839197-1";
urchinTracker();
</script>

Do a search on YouTube for Google Analytics to get an idea of what is visible. Keep in mind that website owners have a summarized view of activity whereas Google can track all the individual behavior.

Keep in mind that the sort of data accumulation mentioned is hardly exclusive to INGO. It's everywhere...

Right. A 2009 study shows 88.4% of domains had the Google tracking module installed. A large portion of those that don't use Google, use some alternate tracking technique (or at least report to the domain owner using server log parsing).

And outside of the internet, people are very easily found and can be tracked unless they constantly take steps to hide their identity and movements. Cameras are everywhere. Credit and debit sales record names, amounts, and items purchased at specific locations. Data collected from things like this are sold to companies that sell them to others. Cell phone companies sell customer data (phone numbers, email, addresses) to companies.

Plus, most smart-phones do periodic a "phone home" with their GPS coordinates.

If you are worried about being tracked, better get rid of all of your high tech toys. Or learn how to overcome that tracking where you can.
