Browsers already store your network preferences.
More complex, structured profile, with personal descriptions and
preferences and rules of sharing them, as well as intelligent software
that makes use of them for your benefit, are exactly what we are doing
at Firefly now - and other companies are entering the space as well -
under the names of software agents, ACF, etc.
It sure is a promising field.
