This is a great idea. To my mind people get overly worried about privacy in this area. It is important but if you work with a trusted service provider there is immense value to be gained from tracking and mining clickstreams on a named basis.

Execution is everything though and selective deleting and/or multiple identities will be key.

Heh. Isn’t this more or less what Dilbert developed a few months back?

We’re doing something similar at Huckabuck.com. We have developed a Search Tuner that allows searchers to tune their results from 6 engines. We are finding that people are tuning their searches in similar ways. These similar settings become our presets. We are currently trying to build our traffic, and once our traffic reaches a certain point, Huckabuck will be able to tell a great deal about social search tendencies.

That Really is a good concept - and so practical - imagine, Reasearching information for your PhD Dissertation or Masters Thesis and connecting with similar minded researchers around the world - and instantly picking each others brains to get additional ideas.

Really surprising this did NOT get that many Diggs - even with the great title...go figur'

Hello,
I know it has nothing to do with this post, but I just wanted to point out this site http://www.poisk.ru, I found in Russia, and which uses the word search in Russian (poisk) to do a funny copy of Google
The funny thing is that they do not use Google Adsense on the search result page, but Yandex Direct, which is the same system than Google Adsense, but proposed by YANDEX.ru, the leading Russian search engine.
Always funny to see how Google influences the world …
