What amazing jerks. Both companies. I feel completely violated. When I feel violated, I hire lawyers and let them sort my feelings out for me. I was just “Beaconed” by Facebook and Blockbuster.

It is all so sleazy. I guess, in many ways, the systems in the past were slow and inefficient. Now, things happen instantaneously. One can actually track the feedback loop. You can track the cause and effect. Yeah, I agree. It is all so sleazy. I guess, in many ways, the systems in the past were slow and inefficient. Now, things happen instantaneously.

I can remember when companies used to exchange mailing lists. I can even remember when prospective customers (of one of my previous employers) demanded to have a list of our current customers incorporated into a software license in order to forestall "customer poaching" arguments. It's all more visible now -- which is good. Something tells me that there is nothing new about “usurp marketing.” I can remember when companies used to exchange mailing lists.
