Until recently, almost no one but computer specialists had heard about Web bugs, often known in the trade as "clear GIFs." But with exploding interest in target marketing on the Internet-- and several companies poised to begin identifying computer users by name--Web bugs have suddenly drawn the attention of advertisers, government officials and privacy advocates.
