I like a phrase that describes everything that comes with the modern Web services:
«If you do not pay for the service, you yourself become a commodity»
All modern social networks and search engines sell, in fact, you. It is quite obvious if we ignore the flow of marketing that their mission of "connecting people" or "let others find everything quickly." They sell your data, your preferences and shopping habits. The more you surf the internet, the more writing on social networks, are fighting in the forums, buy in online stores, the more valuable the lead (from the English. lead) of your work - you become a more valuable commodity for those who have to sell and then buy it.
Abandon habits is difficult, but to change the data that you are collecting on these companies can be just a few clicks. And it helps to make a plug Disconnect.
Disconnect project is headed by Brian Kennish (Brian Kennish) - a former employee of Google and Double Click (advertising network owned by Google), participating in the creation of Google Chrome and Wave.
The plugin works for Chrome and Firefox. It shows with what external services associated visited the site and block the content. Of course, you can customize everything - what to block and what is not.
You can easily turn off everything that goes on from the Facebook site, Twitter and Google+ - CS, buttons and widgets. VKontakte, unfortunately, no. But it is possible to produce filtering settings
Plug-in, by the way, it makes it possible to visualize these relationships, and their number is sometimes simply amazing!
Be attentive to your data and do not sell cheap, if you do and do it.
