Maxwell's silver hammer

What would happen if your browser history, instead of being an intensely personal and private thing, was made absolutely public? I guess I'm about to find out, because I've just put a rolling 24 hour list online here. The internet as performance art. I'm kinda wondering if this will change my behavior. It's a lot of information to give away, but perhaps nobody will care. All I know is, if somebody I found in anyway interesting had their browser history online I'd be sniffing through that shit like a professor through an undergraduates underwear pile.
Yeah. My awareness that someone might be watching could change things. You don't want to scratch your balls in public. On the other hand, on all those reality TV shows where the participants are filmed 24/7 eventually they just stop caring about the camera.
I don't think anyone has done this before, least-ways not voluntarily. Just like the idea of being as transparent as humanly possible.
Gonna upgrade features etc later, will write more about how this affects my day-to-day, if indeed it does.
ob-la-di, ob-la-da – life goes on.
VIOLATE YOUR OWN PRIVACY MOTHERFUCKERS, DO IT BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE DOES!
