Kim Komando, host of the American talk radio show with the same name wrote a column for USA Today where she explains what you're revealing when you go online.
Did you ever wonder about those ads on a web site that specifically mention your hometown? You also see ads for products you looked at online, but never purchased. And some online ads seem frighteningly tailored to your likes.
By simply visiting a Web site, you reveal more than you probably realize. They know where you're located and other sites you've visited. Sites can even learn intimate details about you, like medical conditions.
Find out what you reveal to the sites you visit.
(thanks Kim)

I clicked the "See where you been" thingie, and it wasn't very thorough. Listed only two of the six sites I'd been to. The information they did find also only listed my OS, IP address, city, and other nebulous info. Nothing personal at all. But, then again, I don't let just anyone see what's in my box.
