Enabling the Invasion of Privacy

Crystal is a cool service that I’ve been trying. Type in the name of any human on the internet. It searches for everything written/tweeted/posted by that individual and generates a personality profile to tell you how to talk to that person.

For example:

marc-andreessen-4776

They also create email templates to communicate effectively with that person. You could pretty much automate all your communication to Crystal and disappear off the planet. No one would even notice.

I think services like these will become something like Google: It’s obviously cheating at life, but everyone’s gonna do it anyway so you better keep up.

I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords.
