Sell your own personal data and meta-data online .

Why not ?

All of the big social networks , Google and M$ are already doing it with truly massive quantities of personal data ,
and people aren't getting a cent , while those businesses are making billions.

They say it is "anonymized " data ( which usually means little more than removing your name )
but Facebook has superb in-house algorithms for matching " anonymized " data profiles with their own users ,
and even with non-users , according to recent reports .

It may sound whacky , but it's perfectly feasible , and a block-chain model is the perfect way to do it .

There is a good article here that outlines the concept of block-chains being used for things
other than just the ownership and transfer of "money" ( crypto-currencies ) .

Everything necessary is already in place and well-proven , it just needs the collective will to do it .

Just my 2 gopiks worth ....

.... It's been a long weekend , and my mind starts to wander :)
