Then why is it asking for my name during registration?

It looks like it is only companies it can track for you.

Hopefully I'm not the only one feeling uncomfortable with this. I mean it's okay for advertisers to know some info about me - but everything?

The internet always takes it a step too far.

It looks as though this site is not able to track individual people, but only companies. I'd guess they're doing this by querying each visitor IP with a database of known IP addresses used by companies. If so, it's not particularly sinister, not particularly useful, and not particularly accurate.

The discussion being had here - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4891637 - deals with a site that is allegedly identifying visitors individually somehow, most likely through something to do with social media. However, I'm skeptical.

This site's tracking is covered in another thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4891637 I agree with tzaman that there are serious privacy concerns here...

I must agree with you and tzaman on this. In a time when we are fighting hard to protect our personal privacy online, companies like this are trying to take more of it away. I hope beyond hope that this company fails miserably!

I hate them just for the website alone... all the scroll effects kill the experience

This is a pretty strong argument for using TOR. These guys may not be seriously malicious but they are definitely seriously creepy.
