I was fortunate enough to be part of a WSJ series lead by the unstoppable reporter Julia Angwin called 'What They Know' on internet privacy and how trackers, cookies and our datastream are being intercepted along with our browsing habits. The stories were ahead of their time, before Wikileaks, before the rise of Anonymous and before some of the major hacks of this decade. Andrew Garcia Phillips and I made several visualization online -- that I can now only share as static images since we were working in flash! We won a Loeb Award, but more importantly, we exposed the how companies were scooping up the trail left by our browsing habits.
