  Wired Magazine readers are receiving personalized versions of the magazine, with their personal details spilled across the cover.    http://blogs.forbes.com/kashmirhill/2011/02/01/wired-uk-tries-to-creep-out-readers-with-invasive-personalized-covers/ http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/02/behind-the-scenes-of-wired-uk-magazines-personalized-covers/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter   Personally, if you don't know what is out there why are you playing with digital fire.  Fear, Uncertainty and doubt sells security solutions that are not secure or stops you from engaging.  It is all in the presentation, if you told someone where you live, don't be surprised how they know where you live, however, creepy is when someone implies, works out, buys your data and uses it.  But there are different laws for that.   Storm in a tea cup.

Like Klout and other, MyWebCareer is a service that simultaneously looks at multiple platforms with the goal of helping you improve your personal brand. The result format presentation is somewhat different, and with a few clicks bingo. The service has a few bugs at this Beta phase – I am defiantly connected to my companies, it just appears that they cannot see them. The MyNetwork service is a map of who I am connected with – novel but not sure of the value.

What this does not do is find out what others think of you….. but maybe that is a little to honest for a service to catch on.
