I was just thinking earlier today, "I should turn on the Do Not Track header in Chrome." Then I thought, "...and become one of a very tiny group of people with that characteristic."

I'm going to do it anyway, though on principle. And I encourage all of you to do the same. ;)

I wouldn't bother, to be honest. Personally, given MS's stupid, stupid idea to turn it on by default in IE10, its just gonna be ignored (i actually asked our analytics vendor if we could record it so I could segment based on it).

The only way DNT will work is if its legally mandated, and I don't think that's gonna happen (though I could be wrong).
