Surely they also look at your browsing history, when you use Chrome, or even when you use their search engine.


Surely you haven't even looked at Google's privacy policy, which spells out exactly how they don't do this with Chrome.


i think he/she meant javascript not CSS.


Apart the visited link way there are also other means of achieving the same result even working server side. Check out this paper http://wozad.com/docs/sp3.pdf ,it's covering also the privacy issues.


We had considered the same issue, but decided to give it a try anyway.


well, everybody here misunderstood the meaning of this post. It wasn't get instant userbase, but instead get the feedback of hacker news community. This is partly achieved and i say thanks to everybody who partecipated in this discussion.


Here is feedback: it's a scary privacy hole. Having a company trying to exploit this to make money will only hasten its closure.

Well, the first post title wasn't clear, it has been ignored. I decided to post again because i do think that the matter is at least "interesting".


Smells like spam. Tastes like spam. It is spam!

Your logic is self-serving, don't you think? You have no history of contributing to HN discussion besides posting your company link twice. A post title has little to do with the quality of content on the other side. I think people ignored it for a reason. Not to mention, how is this that much different from Schill's random hack back in 2006?

Yes you are right,i should not have linked the post to the main page, this might look a bit rude.Anyway i do think that this application has some kind of value to share. And as i already commented the feedback of this community is very important for us. Finally our methodology is much more extended from the "random hack" you talk about, that random hack is something coded in one evening just to give a proof-of-concept.


Your posts are clearly spam.


i do think that you do not know the word Spam, a duplicate post isn't spam. I've explained why i duplicated and i won't be posting more. My purpose was to get feedback from the community. You might believe that i'm stupid enough to think that i can my business fly by advertising here, well, this is not exactely true. Anyway thanks for your comment.


I think you did not understand that much..


You really do have a knack for endearing yourself to this audience, don't you?


Thanks for your feedback George, the email problem is fixed. We did put a lot of efforts in this startup and our resources are very limited, both in financial and human resources terms. Perfection at the moment it's well beyond us. We mentioned the big Google with the intention to create some buzz and focus on the similarities between the two systems. Similarities that anybody can observe. Anyway your point of view makes perfect sense and your feedback has extreme value for us, again sincere Thanks.


I can sign up succesfully, it seems it's fixed.


It's your site. I'd imagine _you_ are able to sign up successfully.
