Going Big Red

I write about the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Higher education. Research. Outreach to Nebraska. UNL is an incredible place full of interesting people doing astounding work that impacts the world.

And I get to work here.

One million opt-outs. Brought to you by one #UNL sophomore. @4CAL

Great to see a feature on University of Nebraska-Lincoln sophomore computer engineering major and SelectOut founder Calvin Pappas via Silicon Prairie News.

From the SPN:

After working as an intern last summer at RapLeaf, an online data firm based in Silicon Valley, Pappas turned down job offers to stay in The Valley. Instead, he returned to school and started SelectOut, which is billed as a resource to “help enlighten internet users about their choices, the companies that are behind data online, and give users the options choose for themselves.” In other words, SelectOut educates its users about companies that track their internet use and gives those users the choice to stop the companies from tracking them.

Go Big Red.
