Do we really need this level of tracking on what we look at when on the web? If it followed a select few people, like @jackshafer, @thebyliner users, or my own personal nerd hero @knothing; then MAYBE we'd get a good cross section of information to hyperlink toward. (My how StarTrek I felt, with that last phrase.)

But with the general public copy pasting, what will we come across? I suppose since it works per site, as long as it's information copy pasted from that particular website hyperlinked then you'd fare better.

How spoiled we are; and what a great marketing idea by Apture.
