I know this would give me that occasionally helpful reminder to look for other sources, when my world gets busy.

It could fit in with the idea of "ambient self-awareness" that's going on out there. There's nothing wrong at all with at least having the option to understand what you consume - that power could enable a lot more self-regulation on the part of the consumer - and hey, if the ISPs and the Googles can monitor how we spend our time on the web, why shouldn't we? I'm sure now that the idea is out there some wise programmer will take it on. Hey Ethan,

I had never thought increasing interaction with other people viewing the same page, but it's an amazing idea.
