project") <BR><BR>Traceblog is a daily ghost log of Eduardo Navas's online
searches, created with TrackMeNot (TMN). While Navas surfs the web,
TrackMeNot is activated with the aim to cover his online surfing.
TrackMeNot is a browser extension designed for search engine obfuscation.
The developers define the Firefox plug-in as follows: <BR><BR>"TrackMeNot
is a lightweight browser extension that helps protect web searchers from
surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. It does so not by means
of concealment or encryption (i.e. covering one's tracks), but instead,
paradoxically, by the opposite strategy: noise and obfuscation. With
TrackMeNot, actual web searches, lost in a cloud of false leads, are
essentially hidden in plain view. User-installed TrackMeNot works with the
Firefox Browser and popular search engines (AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and MSN)
and requires no 3rd-party servers or services." <BR><A

target=_blank>http://mrl.nyu.edu/~dhowe/trackmenot/</A> <BR><BR>Keeping
track of people's surfing activity has become an essential element for
data-mining, which is often used by private and public as well as state
entities to better understand people's trends. Traceblog is developed to
reflect on a new stage that global culture is entering, which follows a
recent period when millions of people around the world willingly shared
information about themselves online, via social networks such as Facebook,
Flickr, and Myspace, as well as Youtube, not to mention thousands of
blogs. This sharing is still at play, and is becoming ubiquitous. The
argument behind Traceblog is that social networking and online
transparency encompass the solidification of Web 2.0. The result is that
everyone is encouraged to be more social under the subtext of constant
exposure, at times indirectly and others directly informed by the concept
of the celebrity. Everyone can be star in Youtube, if an uploaded video
becomes viral, or everyone can feel extremely po! pular when amassing
thousands of friends and "fans" in Myspace and Facebook. <BR><BR>Navas's
logs of pseudo surfing are published on Traceblog to reflect on the
archiving of daily activities of any individual who surfs the web. And to
ask online surfers to reflect on the real implications of the current
state of online tracking. The project in many ways is the opposite of
Diary of a Star, in which Navas commented on the Andy Warhol Diaries,
while often sharing some personal information of his own. Traceblog, does
the opposite: It shows Navas's unwillingness to share information, while
exposing how information can be taken from him. Traceblog also presents
the surfing-logs in a way that is unappealing and hard to read by the
online user, something blogs are usually designed to avoid. This is done
to reference the actual form in which the logs would be stored in a
database. <BR><BR>TrackMeNot has received some criticism on its
effectiveness, as can be attested by selected links provided on the blog's
top right handside of the front page. Traceblog is not primarily concerned
with how well TrackMeNot performs; instead it utilizes the Firefox
extension for critical commentary on the preoccupation of losing one's
privacy.</DIV></DIV>
