A new public service. Track the trackers real time.

Is someone using the advanced data crunching methods to track the trackers and the complex web of corporate interrelationships, then link it to Ghostery for anyone to see? This company is definitely capable of finding enough information to develop an automated, interactive, constantly updated, and determinable model of the beast.

It would be nice when Ghostery identifies a tracker that you could click on it and find the company and its relationship with other companies by name and purpose, without an extensive web search (leaving more tracks causing more dead ends and consequences); developed from independent information gathered from the tracker's history.

It's a chunk of programming and numerical analysis, but comparable code is out there from other applications; such as face recognition and identification of terrorists by communication. And certainly by the trackers determining our behavior and how to exploit it for the maximum, usually legal, result. Maybe the generic objects are available.

Since my skills are old school and rusty beyond practicality, I challenge Evidon to take up this mission. It would be nice to enable the general public to turn the tables on this insidious, anonymous, monster.
