The JoyPoll was...

What's the most creepy/annoying thing about websites and apps that track you?

  • When they share who I looked at, with who I looked at!
  • When the website asks me to install an app instead of just letting me look at the website.
  • When I start getting spam emails about something soon after I search for it.
  • When they keep asking me to complete my profile with my phone number, what high school I went to, and "do you know this person?".
  • I love websites that want to know more about me!

About us...

The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech and pop culture news.

We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, and The Joy of Tech is now in its 12th year. We're very proud to be featured regularly on places like re/code, and Folha in Brazil, and Mashable!



You can follow us on Twitter @Nitrozac and @Snaggy, or on Google+ at +Nitrozac JoT and +Snaggy JoT.




We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
