↯ Nick Heer: There Is a Clear Difference
It isn’t that advertising is bad, or that targeted advertising is wrong. The problem lies with the tracking stuff. Some are fine with it, but I am not. There is a clear difference.
Consider installing Ghostery. If you had, you’d see Marco’s site uses both Google Analytics and Mint to track visitor data. Brooks Report has those, plus Amazon affiliate and Google AdSense. Need I go on?
If you’re really not okay with Google’s evil tracking, considering not reading those sites that uses Google’s evil tracking to gather visitor data for advertisement sponsorship purposes.
(P.S. Contra MG Siegler and everyone else, here seems a conversation that would be better done via a comment thread. So let this be my last word. I’ll get back to razzing Appleistas soon.)
