The idea makes sense, but I guess my question is why is that good for users? I mean it's great for the sites/ad world, but why does it make anyone's life better for them to share their behavior data (even if it's anonymous)?

the idea would be that you would have a certain amount of control over your data that you could do what you want with. I could even see the day when an ad comes with a little statement, "why you are seeing this ad" that when clicked could give you your activity stream for why that ad is being served to you.

Noah: relevance. Ads help subsidize a lot of the "free" good content we know and love - more relevance and value exchanged for small amounts of attention is one of the better things we can hope for.
