Somebody's WatchingJuly 9, 2006... I've got to admit, not much of anything has been grabbing my attention lately. One thing that has, though, is the Flake Media application called gVisit, which tracks the city of origin of the visitors to your website. At first, I was skeptical. Then I tested it with Afterbirth of the Cool. I suspected that I had a regular visitors from the Syracuse, Waterloo and Washington DC areas and, lo and behold, gVisit registered visitors from the Syracuse, Waterloo and Washington DC areas. Coincidence? Well, lemme put it this way: I ain't getting a lot of hits no-how, so odds that these are coincidences are long. To see a demonstration of gVisit, go here. To get a piece of the action, go to the other here. Thanks to PDB for the head's up on this one. I'd post an mp3 of Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" here if I actually had oneOf course, it's a little creepy to think that one's movements on the Internet can be tracked. When I accidentally find myself at an adult site, for example, and there are banner ads about ... well, that creeps me right out. I'm just here by mistake. What are you implying? Fortunately, gVisit is not 100% accurate. The person in Toronto who keeps visiting my site and who, according to gVisit, lives at the corner of Barton and Manning, is me. A good neighbourhood, but I don't live there. Mind you, right about now I kinda wish I did: that way, I wouldn't have to spend the rest of my night listening to crazed Italy supporters honkin' they horns as they cruise up and down the street.
