Brooklyn Developer Offers Up His Personal Data on Kickstarter

May 10, 2013 @ 9:06 am By MIT Technology Review

Software developer Federico Zannier has data-mined himself, and now he’s raising money on Kickstarter to build an iPhone app and Chrome browser extension so that others can easily do the same.

Fork over $2 to the campaign and you get a day’s worth of the 1.5 gigabytes of text and 30,000 photos he’s collected from his online activities since February. That means a fun-filled 24-hours of websites, screenshots, webcam images, cursor movements, app logs, and GPS locations he’s tracked.

Is it a bargain? No, not at all—and that’s his point.
