    Google Screenwise panel will pay you to track your every move online

    Don't mind letting Google watch your every click while browsing the web? Awesome, because the folks in Mountain View want to pay you for letting them do just that. The company is recruiting panelists for a project it's calling Screenwise, a program that will give the internet behemoth more insight into how the general public uses the interwebs day in and day out. Once you opt in, you'll receive a $5 gift card code to Amazon and for up to a year, you'll get additional spending money every three months. But how will The Goog track your mouse clicks? Just before getting paid, you'll have to download a browser extension that will keep an eye on things and send your data back to the mothership. If you're looking to make a little more dough, Ars Technica reports that you'll be able to opt for a more lucrative hardware monitoring option. Here, you'll have to install the Screenwise Data Collector (pictured above) on your home network; however, the pay out is an initial Benjamin and $20 for every month you participate. Sound like something you'd want in on? Hit the source link below to be notified when registration opens.


    Anyone in?

    Says it all really, People complain about being watched and then get offered pennies for the privilege and everyone jumps at it. I can see this being a little like self hanging in some senses . Data collection should be taken seriously , not forgotten about for $20

    Blimey. what next? google pimping? I guess it's not entirely out of the thoughts what google are capable of and asking to get yourself involved in. Bored Housewives start your engines.

    Sign up saying that you can't use the router (and would need to use the browser extension option instead) and then use Windows Virtual PC to surf where you want them to track to you.
