Google will pay you to give up your online privacy
Technology Mob: "With Google eager to learn all it can about its users it has launched a new scheme named Screenwise. Users are rewarded every 3 months with a $5 Amazon gift card (up to a maximum of $25)."

I think that some people will actually do this, although it does seem like such a small amount for the potential 'worth' of your information that they can sell. Websites already collect your information in a way, but I never heard of one reaching out openenly to collect it.
I don't see it as a big deal, if you're giving consent for them to do it then I think it's fine, but on the other hand if they do it without your permission than it's a problem. I think I'm gonna do it, I've got nothing to hide, free money.
Yeah I understand where you're saying, but for me it's not a big deal, and as far as I can tell this will only be installed onto the browser which you choose, so I guess I could just go to firefox if I wanted to do anything I didn't want them to see, and I say again, I have nothing to hide.
Then potentially if you go to apply for a job in the future or looked into for some reason they would see that you sit at home and watch porn all day... Not exactly the best thing, especially if you have fetishes!
Haha well you got me there, even though this is my name shortened ;), if that's the case for him then it would probably help! Otherwise you would be out of a job.
In Nov two shopping malls were halted in plans to track shopper activities through their cell phones. It is only the most recent example of big business doing high-tech snooping in order to get useful marketing demographics. Now Google has decided to put an open face on the endeavor and ask customers to surrender their privacy voluntarily. And it will even pay those customers, but not a whole lot.
