Universal Personal Proxy :: Outside A Close Circle Of Friends

Russell Beattie Notebook: Universal Personal Proxy

The idea in my mind is for a project that would be a universal personal proxy (UPP) that sits between you and the internet. It would be a web proxy, email filter, spam cop, a place for agents and schedule tasks to run and more. It would be responsible for both receiving and sending of information - as web pages, emails, web services requests, ftp file postings, etc. In the middle it would do analysis like for Spam or RSS autodiscovery, intelligent bookmark history, etc. as well as storing data such RSS and other news feeds. There are already efforts along these lines tackling the problem from various perspectives. ZOE is for filtering emails, aggregators for filtering web logs and news, etc.
