I read this Online Learning Orientation a few weeks ago. \u00a0I read all the activities, and at that time installed Lightbeam. Forgot about it until now. \u00a0Wow. \u00a0There is sure a lot going on that I was not aware of.<\/p>\n
A few smaller sites had the most trackers, like bikeradar.com, rubiconproject.com, and tundratalk.com, mazdas247.com. \u00a0CNN, WordPress and MEC also had over 50 each.<\/p>\n
Amazon.ca had surprisingly few, at only\u00a04.<\/p>\n
Another interesting\u00a0find was that hundreds of sites tracked me that I didn’t even visit. I visited 20 sites, yet had over 322 Third Party sites were visited as well.<\/p>\n
