Digital shadow: How companies track you online

Who's following your every move on the web, asks Alexis Madrigal, and what do they want from you?
THIS MORNING, IF you opened your browser and went to NYTimes.com, an amazing thing happened in the milliseconds between your click and when the news about North Korea or James Murdoch appeared on your screen. Data from this single visit was sent to 10 different companies, including Microsoft and Google subsidiaries, a gaggle of traffic-logging sites, and other, smaller ad firms. Nearly instantaneously, these companies can log your visit, place ads tailored for your eyes specifically, and add to the ever-growing online file about you.

Yep!  Worked on a friend's computer the other day and he wanted to show me a video on YouTube.  First words out of my mouth as soon as the video started... "They have ads on YouTube?!  Since when?"
