I would love to try it out if you need a beta-tester. Also I like "myware" to help explain to permission based nature of the ATX and how it relates to me. Hi Robert

Do you know how long it will be before you have the ATX for IE7? I would love to try it out if you need a beta-tester. Also I like “myware” to help explain to permission based nature of the ATX and how it relates to me.

You may not be a spokesperson, but you do a great job of addressing this issue, and there's little I'd add. I just heard Felix Miller of Last.fm at E-Tech, and he used the term "myware" to describe software we use to capture our own attention data. I've heard Seth Goldstein of Root (and a member of AttentionTrust's Board) use the same term. The fundamental difference from "spyware" is that "myware" is completely controlled by the user, and we as individuals decide what will happen to the data recorded by our myware, who we'll share it with and how iX Thanks, Robert.
