New technology is making it easier than ever to follow your friends’ digital footprints as they trek across the web. Footprints, a gadget for Google’s Friend Connect service, was created by a Japanese programmer to reveal who’s visiting your Web site and when. The gadget displays the following information for up to ten visitors: the visitor’s name, time of last visit, and photo, which links to his or her personal profile. Users will have a reasonable degree of control when using Footprints, including the ability to erase their footprints each time a particular site is visited. The privacy controls also enable visitors to hide their profiles from the sites they visit. Further safeguarding privacy, visitors’ information will only appear if they are signed in and registered users of Friend connect.
