Lightbeam for web-tracking

By -

Lightbeam by Firefox is a new extension/add-on that allows you see first and third party sites that are collecting information about your browsing activity, with and without your consent. Lightbeam uses interactive visualizations for easy monitoring of those monitoring you.
When you activate lightbeam and visit a website, sometimes called the first party, the add-on creates a real-time visualization of all the third parties that are active on that page. The visualization grows with every site you visit and every request made from your browser. In addition to the graph view, you can also see your data in a clock-view to examine connections over a 24-hour period or in  list view to drill down into individual sites.
This is not an average user application, but it's simple, easy, and an important utility to those who are concerned about their privacy while surfing the web. Web developers will find this helpful.
With lightbeam, you can block sites from reaching and tracking you online.

Now their posts can go public, not only to their friends, but friends of their friends. This limitation restricted some adverts from reaching the walls of these teenagers. Facebook still included a notification before these teenager accounts post messages, alerting them that their post will be seen publicly. Facebook has over 1.2 billion users worldwide and are up against competitors like Twitter and Google in online marketing. This move by Facebook i believe is to expand their marketing reach. Now products and services for teenegers under that age range can be reached with adverts through Facebook. This is good news for marketers who want to reach young customers on Facebook. Parents will not welcome this change as kids being able to post and receive public content are now exposed to the vulgarity uncensored content
