Good question. I don’t mind high quality ads even if they are not relevant. Of course quality is subjective. [...]

Misuse of Online Profile Information

July 17th, 2008

We have spent a lot of time discussing the cons of tracking your online behavior across the internet in order to serve ads, but the misuse of profile data provided by you when you sign up for online services or content is another issue. Both of these point to one overall problem with online advertising . . .

Online Tracking

July 3rd, 2008

Per a (somewhat) recent CNET article, cable companies are trying to watch every site you visit so they can figure out what advertisements to show you. Think about the implications of this on your shared home computer. [...]

Criticism: a chance to tell our story better

June 25th, 2008

Some of you may have read the article on Mashable about ListensToYou. The response, in terms of comments, sign-ups and general feedback, has been great; and very helpful. Today, we received some pretty harsh feedback in the comments of that article. After a moment of consideration, I realized that we need to [...]

Privacy and Online Ad Targeting

June 24th, 2008

One of the pillars of ListensToYou is privacy.  We are not single-minded in this cause and we surely do not blame marketers for wanting to reach customers with their products.  We are realistic.  We do, however, think there is a better way and, frankly, we could not believe that there was nothing in the online [...]

American Airlines
Bastille Day

So, I am writing this post to complete my Technorati “claim of” our blog.
I have to put this code: [Deleted the code - can't be too safe :) ]
somewhere on the blog’s front page.
First, I am not sure if publishing that code in a public forum is a bad thing, but i suspect [...]

Privacy Policy Self-Regulation

November 30th, 1999

Levitra online
Propecia online

The NY Times reported last week that the FTC reaffirmed its thinking that internet companies can responsibly self-police their privacy practices.  Website publishers and companies have privacy policies that are intended to report how your information is collected, stored and used, but these are often unclear and, mostly, just unread.  It is not [...]

Data Privacy Day

November 30th, 1999

Today is Data Privacy Day.  ListensToYou was founded not just to give an alternative to advertising based on data collected without user consent, but to participate in the awareness and discussion of data privacy.  Many people have told us that they don’t care about giving away their data.  Others have told us that the ListensToYou [...]

Where have you been?!?

November 30th, 1999

Buy clomid
Buy actos

A fair question.  One of our friends posed this question over dinner a few weeks ago suspecting, correctly, that our lack of communication was because things ARE happening (rather than because things just aren’t happening).  It is a difficult task to bring a new way to advertise into the market in a meaningful [...]
