We'll mark down whether you look up stock quotes (though we draw the line at capturing the symbols of the specific stocks you follow). If you come to the Netly News, we'll record your interest in technology. Then, the next time you visit, we might serve...

In search of livelier-than-average holiday greetings, Graden commissioned the pair to make a video Christmas card...
