Spying.
No matter what you do or where you go on the internet, you're being traced down. At first it's a scary statement, like you're not free to do whatever you want anymore. It's not like Freedom is a concept that's randomly protected or applied anyway.
But passed that fact, I somehow develop an interest into spying people on the net. Who checks my blogs, what pages of my websites are the most attractive, how long are the visits. Nothing really bad. But once you get started, you look for new ways to know more about your friends' habits and see that now there are some spying means people agree on working with. Registering a forum, accepting to be part of the Last.fm community [which I really like] and so on. So when you thought people would fight for their freedom, they just give it up and let the whole world spy on them freely.
I'm exaggerating, but I'm crazy about knowing when people showed up online, how long they stayed connected and everything else that can be gathered through just little tools. That's what you get when you're bored and almost full-time online with just one person to entertain you.

I know I'm a week late in commenting, but better late than never, right?
I know exactly what you mean about "spying" on people in that way. It can be addicting to see who is looking at what and when. Sometimes I feel a tiny bit creepy though! haha. But I still do it. :)
Il faut postuler au renseignements généraux ;) lol bisous!
