Mirror, Mirror, on the Screen

A new software tool called Digital Mirror allows you to analyze your on-line relationships by assessing the shape, tone, and content of your e-mails. This is all part of a trend toward greater clarity in our personal and professional relations, though the social networks, advertisers and behavioral targeters never make this informations available to you.

NEW YORK – Suppose a group of workers frequently communicate among themselves, and then suddenly one of them gets left off all the “copy-tos.”  “It could be that they’re planning a surprise birthday party,” says Elizabeth Charnock, whose company, Cataphora, analyzes e-mail traffic and content as well as other documents, primarily for clients involved in litigation and crime detection. “It’s more likely that they’re planning to engage in fraud and they know this one person won't go along with it.”
