Re: Anti-Spyware Coalition Probes Data Pimping (Phorm, NebuAd)
Hi Guys and Gals,
Do not be so hasty to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Be advised that in the "Advertising Industry"...
The Business Model states the consumer is not a CUSTOMER they are considered to be PRODUCT. 
An "Adware Coalition" is not pratical since you can't control other players.
That is why to me Anti-Spyware Coalition make sense.
In the end the USER will Rule.
For instance Etrust certifies at the application level and not at the company level which is a step forward.
Now I will agree that to date, if you just took a quick review of the documents they have put out today you would never be impressed.

But if you looked at some of the EVENTS they have had you might be changing your minds on a fews things.
