Aussie startup aims to wrestle back its users’ personal data. An Australian startup is pushing back against businesses using people’s data without their consent by allowing its users to manage and understand their online identity.
Founder and chief executive of Meeco, Katryna Dow, told StartupSmart she hopes her platform will make it easier for people to organise their digital life and put themselves in control of their own data. “It’s a way for people to own, aggregate and analyse their personal data for them to be able to draw insight from that and to decide who or how they want that information to be shared,” she says.
The idea for Meeco came to Dow while watching the film Minority Report just over a decade ago. In the film, there is a scene where the protagonist is being bombarded by targeted advertising. “I remember walking out of the cinema thinking I’m not sure that’s a world I would like to be living in,” says Dow. There is an increasing awareness around online security and the fact people’s online data is valuable.

Announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them. Shouldn't you announce your goals, so friends can support you?
Isn't it good networking to tell people about your upcoming projects? Doesn't the “law of attraction” mean you should state your intention, and visualize the goal as already yours? Nope. Tests done since 1933 show that people who talk about their intentions are less likely to make them happen. Announcing your plans to others satisfies your self-identity just enough that you're less motivated to do the hard work needed.

Think of Your Body as a Fish Tank.
Think of the importance of maintaining the integrity of the internal fluids of the body that we "swim" in daily. Imagine the fish in this tank are your cells and organ systems bathed in fluids, which transport food and remove wastes. What if we throw in too much food or the wrong kind of food (acid-producing food like dairy, sugar, and animal protein) and the fish are unable to consume or digest it all, and it starts to decompose and putrefy? Basically, this is a small example of what we may be doing to our internal fluids every day. Perhaps one of Dr.
