Website stockpiles personal information for marketing

[MADem]

2. And the website "About the Data" will sell the info you give them!

On the website AboutTheData.com, you can type in your name, address, birthday and the last four digits of your social security number to reveal a trove of personal information that has been collected.

The only thing I find shocking is that people are just now, in the 21st Century, figuring this shit out.

I used to have a cat. That cat has been dead for nearly 15 years. That damn cat is STILL getting junk mail at my house, everything from credit card offers to investment opportunities to bulk discount coupons, because I used that cat's name for EVERYTHING.

Put your shit out there, and you're gonna get shit back--it's like a tide, it goes in and out.
