I find the Persona’s project really fascinating. It takes your name, scours the web, and then tries to fit the information it finds into a predetermined set of categories to create a snapshot of who the Internet thinks you are. I have to admit to being semi-obsessed with the whole concept of what the Internet knows about people, and find the thought that you can find out interesting stuff about almost anyone now with a quick search simultaneously incredible and frightening. So I think this is pretty cool.
