This is a rival to BlueDot. I like the naïveté of 'in order to do their jobs'.

New kid on the block. Anyone know how it compares to BlueDot?

commentart is more interesting:
I'm not sure which Web [Ben Casnocha] was talking about, but it hardly resembles the idyllic wonderland of mutual respect he describes. David Brin's Transparent Society describes the utopia of mutual transparency, and it doesn't exist anywhere on the Web or real life. Social networking sites hardly have the privacy controls he describes, and transparency is all-or-nothing. Try to keep your friends lists private -- you can't. By design, they're public to everyone else who is also on the list. So my friends, my schoolmates, my co-workers, my siblings, and my virtual friends all can see each other. There's a big difference between privacy and appropriate segregation by one's social persona of son, father, brother, boss, employee, friend, date, or ex-boyfriend. I don't want to mix them, or even share them within those groups -- it's inappropriate, but I don't have a choice. His paraphrase of Mutual Assured Destruction, while cute, completely neglects the fact that we wasted trillions of dollars and decades of years fighting the Cold War. Do we need to now prepare for the "cold shoulder" war, where the resources of individuals and groups are wasted on each other in a race to paranoia and fear? If one is controlling one's privacy by degree and kind, as we do it presently in the real world, then you are not living in a transparent society; you're living in current society. Those of us who are fully clothed are looking at the naked you and wondering, "Just what exactly is it that you think you're showing off?"

Someone else already dotted this. I wonder if my dot will be added to theirs?
Quoted: Then there are the matters of language, accent and cultural nuance that promise to hamper the communication and understanding needed to deliver personal services. Already, some American consumers voice frustrations in dealing with customer-service call centers in India. At the least, the spread of remotely delivered personal services will be a real test of globalization at the grass-roots level....
Concerns about the quality of K-12 education in America and the increased emphasis on standardized tests is driving the tutoring business in general. Traditional classroom tutoring services like Kaplan and Sylvan are doing well and offer online features. And there are other remote services like Growing Stars, Tutor.com and SmarThinking.
Ramya Tadikonda has tutored Kenneth Tham, among many others, from her home in Chennai, India.
...Ms. Tadikonda, 26, is a college graduate who had previously worked as a software and curriculum developer for a math Web site for students, but left to raise her children. Earlier this year, she joined TutorVista, took the company’s 60-hour training course, followed by tests and practice sessions for two months. She now works about 24 hours a week as a math and English tutor and makes about $200 a month.The timing is right for global tutoring, according to John J. Stuppy, TutorVista’s president and a former executive at Sylvan Learning, the Educational Testing Service and The Princeton Review.

yeah - i knew that 'i'm being watched' feeling was legit. is there a setting to only use Chrome in Incognito mode? :)
Quoted: Provided that users leave Chrome's auto-suggest feature on and have Google as their default search provider, Google will have access to any keystrokes that are typed into the browser's Omnibox, even before a user hits enter.
Quoted: What's more, Google has every intention of retaining some of that data even after it provides the promised suggestions. A Google representative told CNET News that the company plans to store about 2 percent of that data--and plans to store it along with the Internet Protocol address of the computer that typed it.
