Today I am working on my graduation project. Well, mostly reading stuff. Suddenly I had a new e-mail. So, I checked and hey, this is cool! Bol.com (big online web-store) just send me a personalized offer! “James Bond: GoldenEye 007″ for the Nintendo Wii. They said this offer was based on my last bought product! Yeah, well, my last product I bought via Bol.com was a book. But the product before this book were 2 Bigben guns for the Nintendo Wii. So in that case they have the benefit of the doubt. Or not, because they also said “…or what others bought”. If you want to do it right, then do it right!

Anyway, what I am trying to say; I am aware of how web-stores work: they make a profile of you, and with that profile they will send you special offers and this is all based on your online buying behavior. I would be chocked when an other company then Bol.com (e.g. Ebay) was sending me a special offer, based on my buying behavior on Bol.com. Then I would know that all those companies are distributing my digital identity. Or are they already doing this? Well, good question for my graduation project :)
