180 degree point of view

For the 90+% who didn't actually read the article, the project is about website tracking, not user tracking, aka web analytics.

No difference in my mind whatsoever.

It's the difference between (a) knowing that between 1:00pm and 2:00pm there were 5,000 visitors to SomeWebSite.com and (b) knowing that between 1:00pm and 2:00pm some user visited these** 25 sites. It is different. But, that's why it's opt-in only--don't wanta, don't haveta. This data is currently being collected right now anyway by more than a few organizations, just not very reliably; your ISP, however, knows every site that you visit. There is no privacy on the Internet.

**whatever "these" happen to be.
