I think Google's success with online advertising has influenced the thinking of many with a large online presence. Sadly, privacy is sacrificed when you flip the computer on these days.

The only sad side of this is: what if the prevailing norm is simply path of least resistance? Is the flip side that what made ads so lucrative is the marketers ability to gather such a huge amount of information about us?
