It is also an interesting addendum to the -- periodically resurfacing on chat -- issue of privacy (and how much of it we have. Or not. As the case seems to be <g>). Having your lace postings "bandied" on Google may be unpleasant and, personally, I'm not overfond of the yearly Visa "summary" of my spending, but this is "something else". To people who still have illusions of being able to "keep themselves to themselves", it's *beyond* "a bit scary"... I had no idea that a track of the *checks* I write is a matter of public record; just as well I never could afford (or justify <g>) big political donations :)

Dunno if you've seen this site:
http://www.fundrace.org/
The money maps are pretty cool [...]
The site also lets you look up what people have contributed, by address
or by name. See who's contributed how much to whom in your neighborhood
and bake them a cake / toilet paper their yard!
(Yes, it's a bit scary.)
