A survey on online privacy to skew[er] (WhoWhere?)
http://www.whowhere.com/survey.html
The "Stanford" in the title is obviously just a typo. Be aware that
they've been known to aggressively finger, etc. sites that contact their
site.
I especially like this question, which I swear I am not making up:
30. Search by Affiliation - for example "Working Women", "Lawyers", "Gay
and Lesbian", "Hispanics", etc. [Must add] [Nice to add] [Don't care]
WhoWhere originally built their database by writing a script to
aggressively extract email addresses from the web server of OKRA, a
research computer at UC Riverside that had been culling addresses from
Usenet and other sources, making them freely available to the Internet
community. Two wrongs don't make a right, of course. OKRA has since taken
steps to ensure that noone else can extract mass quantities of addresses
in the same way.
