So as you know I posted yesterday about wanting to shed a few pounds and today I got two pieces of spam (I know they're spam because they were to addresses completely unrelated to this blog) on how to do just that (only not any way that's clinicly proven, or inexpensive).

It got me thinking: If everyone kept a public blog, how long would it be before companies would abandon trying to get inside our heads thrugh our clickpaths and purchase histories, and start catering to our desires as evidenced on our weblogs?

How long before the folks at Google, Inktomi, and Lycos created new search engines to harvest current blogdata and sell the info to marketers?

Heck, Blogger could start doing that today, and become the next dotcom success, until everyone abandoned their system, or paid $5 a month to have a 'harvesting-free' blog.
