Twitter messages in the companies archives are now for sale!

They just had a story on the local talking heads news that Twitter will be selling the old messages to companies, so they will be able to spam you more effectively (sorry I should have said advertise to you). They keep all the messages in an archive

Blade runner and that recent Tom Cruize movie is here!

I knew there was a reason not to tweet!

I guess as that twit Ashton whatever tweeted a picture of Demi in her underware in the bathroom and you see where that marriage end up at!:foot-in-mouth:
What I don't understand why is that people even read them

Funny, the whole premise of twitter is to toot your own horn for self advertisement anyway. So I'm not surprised.

Well

I think, if you breath in and out at least once, your name is on somebody's list somewhere and they will sell that list to someone else to use to annoy you for the rest of your life.

I just feel that I'm gonna be bombarded by advertising at every turn no matter what so it might as well be something that I may have an interest in (since now they might know a little about my interests). Not really a big deal to me in this case since I wouldn't put anything in facebook or twitter that I wouldn't say publicly. What I don't like is that email can be (and probably is) used in this way as well.

The little privacy we have left is quickly being taken away. Pretty soon we will be under 24-7 video surveillance even in our own homes.

Ok so for free off your site storage for your data and files they want a camera on 24/7 I think I never will need extra storage that bad, and if I did I'll buy another one of the "my book drives" or what ever it's called for $70.00 :biggrin: Or put it on the TV in the shop out back and have it pointed at the roll up door 24/7!
I do have to say some of the comments down the page were a funny read!

Since Google (and any google owned sites) store and use all of the information they collect from you for advertising, here is a good site to use as a search engine instead. I just found it when looking for a more private search engine... https://startpage.com/

They don't store your IP address or your search history, they use the Google search engine for you but keep it all anonymous so you get the perks without the drawbacks. You can also choose their proxy service to keep you anonymous while you browse through the links you click. Sounds like a good thing to me.

More invasion of privacy... I'm sure some of you already have or have seen these... This is the first I hear of it:
