| |
| Even organizations that promise "privacy for their customers" rarely |
| if ever promise "continued privacy for their former customers..." |
| Once you cancel your account with any business, their promises of |
| keeping the information about their customers private no longer |
| apply... you're not a customer any longer. |
| |
| This is in the large category of business behaviors that individuals |
| would consider immoral and deceptive -- and businesses know are not |
| illegal. |

| ..TBTF's long hiatus is drawing to a close |
| |
| Hail subscribers to the TBTF mailing list. Some 2,000 [1] of you |
| have signed up since the last issue [2] was mailed on 2000-07-20. |
| This brief note is the first of several I will send to this list to |
| excise the dead addresses prior to resuming regular publication. |
| |
| While you time the contractions of the newsletter's rebirth, I in- |
| vite you to read the TBTF Log [3] and sign up for its separate free |
| subscription. Send "subscribe" (no quotes) with any subject to |
| tbtf-log-request@tbtf.com . I mail out collected Log items on Sun- |
| days. |
| |
| If you need to stay more immediately on top of breaking stories, |
| pick up the TBTF Log's syndication file [4] or read an aggregator |
| that does. Examples are Slashdot's Cheesy Portal [5], Userland [6], |
| and Sitescooper [7]. If your news obsession runs even deeper and you |
| own an SMS-capable cell phone or PDA, sign up on TBTF's WebWire- |
| lessNow portal [8]. A free call will bring you the latest TBTF Log |
| headline, Jargon Scout [9] find, or Siliconium [10]. |
| |
| Two new columnists have bloomed on TBTF since last summer: Ted By- |
| field's roving_reporter [11] and Gary Stock's UnBlinking [12]. Late- |
| ly Byfield has been writing in unmatched depth about ICANN, but the |
| roving_reporter nym's roots are in commentary at the intersection of |
| technology and culture. Stock's UnBlinking latches onto topical sub- |
| jects and pursues them to the ends of the Net. These writers' voices |
| are compelling and utterly distinctive. |
