WebMynd is private by default, but as an experiment, we did a custom plug-in to automatically publish web history.

Get in touch if you would like to try out publishing your own stream (founders at webmynd).

mark mcgranaghan defines the word transparency. however, as soon as he leaves his desk we're going to hijack his browser and make interesting google searches.

I've been eagerly monitoring Mark's stream to see what's the worst thing a TechCruncher would look at, but it seems you guys are just all talk...

Timelope (http://timelope.com/) is a similar project started by Aviel (http://timelope.com/index.php?p=user&username=aviel) through Six Hour Startup here in Seattle a couple months ago. It's a Firefox browser plugin and keeps track of every site you go to (by default, the info isn't shared). From what I understand, it's got some brains on the backend to cut down on showing duplicates of the sites you visit.

The question is, do you really want people seeing a list of every site you go to on the web? ;)
