So, just a fun thought. Everyone is always being incredibly paranoid with how much google (and facebook), is getting all of our personal info.
Why not just take a break from that, and just think about the awesome things we could do with it.
So, one thing that love is rss (and similar technology). Instead of having to go to 30+ webpages multiple times a day, I can just log into my favorite rss reader, and see most of them right then and there, saving literally hours of my life (maybe even days if we continue to use it long enough).
But one problem that I have with RSS, is that a lot of the stuff that I get, I don't care about. Mind you, I still want it right in front of me, I just don't care about, and would love it if my rss reader just didn't pop up saying 56 new messages, when I will likely only want to read 5 of them.
So, here's where google's personal info, or better yet, software which can analyze you (it could even be FLOSS, and it wouldn't have to give your info to any networks if your that paranoid, which I am :D ). Anyway, it would be cool if it could tell how much you would enjoy reading any particular article, and show it to you first, putting everything else on a back burner.
What do you think? I think it would be cool. What other things would you love to have done with all of this information collection?
