Attention recording proxy
I don’t know much about browser proxy-ing technology (like the kind that anonymizes your data whilst you browse, a la anonymouse and others), but a few weeks ago when I was in class I could have used an attention proxy.
I had a fair amount of time to browse the ‘net while in class, but unfortunately aside from what I posted to del.icio.us, none of my attention data was captured during that period because I was working on a machine that didn’t have the Attention Extension (which, BTW, is now a SourceForge project). Having a proxy that I could have sent all my browsing through would have alleviated this problem (and also could have resolved the issue with Firefox 1.5 and the ATX with custom services).
Perhaps Root.net would look into something like this as a service to offer.

[…] UPDATE 3/11/6 - I figured I’d give the Sourceforge Attention Recorder a shot, even though the Attention Services page suggests grabbing it from them vs Firefox (which I did initially) but all I got this morning was this reply. Still no word from Ed Batista, Executive Director, AttentionTrust.org but I am now going to ping Cori since he posted this back on Dec 31 and has a 3+ month headstart (at least lol) on me. I also notice he has a msg on the Attention contact site, thx again Alex. Attention, RootVault, Transparency, Sourceforge, OpenSource, Open_Source […]

Hi Cori. I got here thanks to your post on Alex’s site (but now I see that it was you that posted in my blog as well lol) and was hoping maybe you could help me with getting my Attention Root Recorder going. I won’t bother you with the details since you were at my blog already (although I have added to that same post) and I don’t know if this is your cup-of-tea or not. TIA.

[…] I would be remiss to leave out Cori for helping me take a step back and look at my Attention setup yesterday so thanks to him too. […]
