I found this on slashdot, so lots of you have probably seen it. It's about web bugs; a method of monitoring who is viewing webpages when, which also works with html email and new postings. I'm not surprised that this happens, but I'm interested to see the exact techniques.

WebBug FAQ:

Article about monitoring of porn & medical sites by Doubleclick (an interesting read)

I'm loving the wild west!
