Voyurl is a new website that is taking live-streaming information to the next level. Voyurl is a website that lets you broadcast your Internet while tracking the use of others. What could possibly go wrong?
Voyurl works kind of like Twitter, making it necessary for people to "follow" you in order to see your "clickstream." You can turn your clickstream on or off at any given time as well as filter the clickstreams of those you follow.
I am a little confused as to the purpose of Voyurl. I could see marketers loving a new way to track people online, but I don't get what enjoyment could be had by users out of broadcasting and tracking others' Internet usages. Voyurl is currently undergoing private beta testing now. Voyurl is definitely one to keep your eye on. After all, Facebook and Twitter were a little misunderstood and mysterious when they started out as well.
