Atten.TV feeds your inner voyeur

Atten.TV
We're all about software that makes it easier to stalk friends, neighbors, and others from a safe, non-homicidal distance. But we're a bit dubious about Atten.TV, a new service that lets anyone watch your internet clickstream as entertainment. Sure, this is valuable data for marketers, but it's got to just be dull viewing for anyone else.

Nonetheless, Seth Goldstein says his new venture, Atten.TV, is designed to tap into the same voyeuristic tendencies as Justin.TV.

Basically, Atten.TV is a client that allows you to watch what other users are clicking on TV-style. If they're reading a web page, you'll see the same page. If they're watching an online video, you'll see the same video. If you're not shy, you can also opt-in to the program and allow other users to look over your shoulder. You can either watch live or watch recorded clickstreams.

Right now, Atten.TV is in alpha, with only a Mac client available, and no Atten.TVGuide. Eventually you'll be able peruse a list of active users and select a "channel" to watch. We're just not sure why you'd want to.
