-
- 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.
