I kicked off my morning with a ho-hum daily web surfing ritual and a stout cuppajoe, but before the caffeine kicked in, I perked up a bit when I noticed that All Things Digital had a big front and center notice about their use of cookies. They even provided information about opting out.
Very interesting. Is this a sign of things to come? In an era of where widgets, mashups, viral video and analytic services are invading the web, should more disclosure be occurring? Should we be doing more to educate and inform those who look to our sites for news and information?
Might we see library web sites that enrich their sites with data from services like Amazon or Syndetic Solutions include such notices?
