Nothing is free and the price you pay for using many popular web services is letting them track your internet activity.

I protect myself from Facebook tracking me by using a Fluid browser for Facebook. Because I paid the US$5 to register the app, I can use separate cookies from Safari.

Interesting Review Of Google Currents

Here’s a sample…

I’m pretty impressed with Google Currents; it’s a solid 1.0 release. It focuses on being a visually-pleasing way to read the content you’re specifically interested in from the web, rather than taking Flipboard’s approach of letting others (at least in part) determine what content you see.

The aesthetic is quiet and calm, and it does just enough with trending topics to ensure you always have something to read without feeling that your own selected content is being intruded upon.
