Mm, yeah, I saw that there was another option for signing up, so... I may do that at some point. I don't know. I kind of just...don't know if I want to give the internet another way to learn about my interests and market stuff to me though. :P Not that it's only about that? But still. ;)
I think it is and isn't in our hands, really. Because to me, signing up for some of these things has become second nature? And we have to use things like this for work, etc., and while sure, you can read all the fine print if you so choose, a lot of these places don't have a good way to "opt out", so you either cut yourself off from whatever you're being invited to join/access/whatever, or you play by their rules. And that annoys me, at times.
And yeah, I'm torn too about the money aspect. Because all these sites are businesses, and I respect them making a go of it. I just wonder if it's all become too easy, at times. Where in the past you would have to work to find this information, here, it's like we're offering it all up for free. Jeremy argued that we're also getting value from these services too though (like Facebook, which we use for free) which is a good point? I don't know. ;) I just...think it's an interesting thing to keep an eye on, I guess. ;)
