Data Mining 101: Finding Subversives with Amazon Wishlists
Article explains how a combination of Amazon Wishlists, Google Maps, and free software could be used by anyone to create detailed profiles of hundreds of thousands of Americans and monitor groups of people.

Quote:It used to be you had to get a warrant to monitor a person or a group of people. Today, it is increasingly easy to monitor ideas.

One was about e-commerce giant Amazon.com and the other two related to leading Social Networking sites MySpace and Facebook. Here are the gory details…

...delved into the apparently murky world of MySpace and found a tale of intrigue. Well, some if it is a bit tabloid:

    "According to sources, while at Xdrive, Anderson rarely showered, spent an unusually high amount of time with DeWolfe, and took the bus everywhere - despite the rumor that he was making an additional $5,000 a month from running a pornography website...

Meanwhile Jacob Morse investigated Facebook.com and ends up invoking Orwell's 1984. He discovered a connection with the CIA:..
