The Star Tribune launched infoCenter today — a place where you can view salaries of select public employees as well as real estate transactions, homicide maps and other intriguing data.

The paper across the river also recently launched a salary database for public employees.

As one who is on the liberal side when it comes to sharing my personal financial data, the sites don’t bother me. But I imagine others, especially those who have their salaries listed, may feel uncomfortable.

How would you feel if your salary were listed for your friends and family to look up?
