@comcast.net | I don't like Pharm, but paying individuals is......
always the least effective way to gain business. It's just never a best strategy. If the $5mo per subscriber is accurate, I can't imagine any ISP who wouldn't be at least seriously tempted, so I'm sure they'll have plenty of business in any case. |

You'd have to pay me more than 5$ a month to get me to use this "service"... |

But seriously, if NebuAd could'nt succeed, what makes Phorm think they will ? |

@comcast.net | They succeeded in the UK. That makes them bold enough to try it in the US. |

Is not for sale at any price.
It's not the money, its the very idea that Phorm could bribe someone into giving up their privacy.
And instead of accepting something like this, I would use a utility like Anti-Phorm Lite to pollute their databases with junk. I already do so for Google, Yahoo, MSN/Live Search and AOL using an extension for Firefox called TrackMeNot. It generates bogus search phrases every two seconds while Firefox is running.

| Why can't I profit?
It's funny how companies can make money off of my personal information but I don't make a dime. Just think of the residual income I can make a month from all these companies that sell my info. If Phorm wants to make money off of my personal info then I should get at least 70% of the profits they make from that info. |

Re: My browsing data...
If they've succeeded why are they desperately once again floating this non starter to the UK Press?
The Only Supporters are the UK Government Departments (which took it at face value & didn't look at the pitfalls of the Technology), The AD/Media Interests & Phorm.
They've slowly driven themselves into a frenzy trying to promote the un-promotable! |
