Think your browsing history is secure from prying eyes so long as you never leave your PC unattended? Think again. A new site, Web2.0collage.com, digs through your browser's history and then constructs a collage of the web2.0 websites that you've visited.
"Web2.0collage.com mixes art and technology to raise privacy concerns," the site states on its homepage. "Many of us consider our browser history to be private, but that is no longer the case. Any website you visit can determine your browser history by exploiting the very features designed to enhance your Internet experience, a fact many people are not aware of."
Web2.0collage.com works its artistic magic by using JavaScript and them assembling the pieces together in a collage of thumbnails. What you do with it is up to you -- the site links to Zazzle.com to give you some ideas -- but if you're concerned about who's snooping your browser history, you should probably start by clearing your cache.
