Voyurl Is Climbing In Your Browser Window, Snatching Your Surfing History Up

It was back in July of last year that we first wrote about a service called Voyurl with the headline:It's Hard To Tell If Voyurl Or Their Ads Are Creepier. You see, at the time, the still-in-stealth startup was targeting angel investors via Google ads get their attention to hopefully talk about their product. That's actually pretty smart. So we had to give the edge to the product itself being creepier. You see, its aim was to be a service that made your entire browsing history public.At the time, we said the best way to think of this was as a sort of "Blippy but with more potential porn". Of course, Blippy has since been tweaking its service to be less about public sharing of your purchases and more about the social dynamics of purchases and recommendations. But fear not, Voyurl is gladly picking up the creepy mantle!
