Honestly, the biggest problem I have with this site right now is that I don't know how you're paying for it - or how you intend to keep doing so. That's pretty much the exact problem with the sites you're monitoring - if I'm not paying for the service, someone else is.

I'd pay for a service like this - hell, I'd _rather_ pay for a service like this.

Interesting, would you really pay for it? Quite a few of the folks we've interviewed & surveyed say they'd use it, only if free. What kind of demographic do you think would be happy to pay for this kind of service.

That's about half of what got us into this mess, isn't it?

If you do this well, Yeah, I'd rather pay for it - we're not talking bank, but for a couple bucks a month, if you do what you say you'll do and I stop having to worry about whether Facebook's decided to loot my underwear drawer while I wasn't looking, I'll happily pay.

You could also consider a Cloudblaze-type model - some stuff for free to get the aggregated data you need, and some pay services. I just want to make sure I know which side your bread's buttered on.

Also, if you're at NYU - talk to the folks at ITP. Lot of interesting, privacy concerned people connected to that group.
