I find sites like these to be extremely indicative of where the future is headed, so I jump at the chance to review them. Thanks for the comment. Jon: Indeed, privacy is an issue on any social app, on-line computer, or society. While Cluztr most definitely aims to enhance the on-line experience with its positive features, I don't think that sacrificing privacy for something such as personalized recommendations will ever be worth it. I do believe that I mentioned the privacy option on Cluztr, and I think that using it is worth it only under that condition. Thanks for the comment! TheGrizz: What can I say?

Privacy is an issue, for some - not all, with any social app. However, it's a small price to pay when you consider the value of what you get back ... with Cluztr you get personalized recommendations, connections to other users with similar interests and access to your friends' browser histories in real-time. Cluztr's focus is certainly on sharing however, it has numerous privacy features to allow users to participate without sharing more then they are comfortable with. Great post Nion.

Anyway thanx for the review, don't think I will be stopping by this one any time soon.
