The Invisible Web

Ever wonder what trackers a site is using?

Well maybe I’m the only one that spends way too much time reading the source code of sites to find out what they’re using. I finally got smart and found someone (Ryan Weir) on RentACoder to write a greasemonkey script for me to make my life easier.

Here it is in-case anyone else cares. Suggestions and feedback appreciated.

Install the
Invisible Web
greasemonkey greasemonkey script now.

Lots and lots of worthless data

These are the slides from my talk on turning seemingly worthless data into a valueable asset. I presented these at the Business of APIs conference in San Francisco yesterday.

I’ll be in San Francisco lobbyconning Web2.0 and other events for the rest of the week.
