There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

A recent report from the Georgia Institute of Technology states that large consumer services, such as Netflix and Amazon.com, regularly collect information to better serve or suggest products to their customers. Others, such as package delivery services and restaurant chains, use data to streamline operations and reduce business costs. What's missing is the ability for users to limit their exposure to unintended use of their data.
