That's a cool idea.

I agree. Using images to track site hits is a typical mobile sites trick, but this is a very interesting application. I wonder if you'll be able to collect a list of IP's of companies; so you can tell if someone from Yahoo! or Google or XYZ has accessed your resume.

yeah that'd be great, it'd have to earn enough to pay for the full GeoIP database though, it's running on the free one now

Wait a minute, are you saying there's a database you can buy that tells you the IP addresses used by every company in the world? That's awesome.
