As the owner of a “Software Company” and the user of various social media constructs, I would think certain concepts would not be foreign to you. The aggregation of data necessary to provide a consistent and professional quality of service is nothing new. Ever used a computer? Ever get an update? Those would be based on an inventory of your machine hardware and software. Ever have any thoughts about the information being collected by every piece of software you have ever installed that offers an automatic update service? Ever used PhotoShop? Flash? Windows? OS X? Linux? Sure you have. Hell, I’d be willing to bet that even Svenska Antipiratbyr?n knows more about you than WordPress does.
Just kidding… (but not really).
Not that you should care, nor that it should matter, nor that I really give a rats ass what you think either way, but the flip-flop way through which you “argue” your contentions in this thread present evidence that you really don’t possess the organizational skills required to present a compelling argument. Nor do your statements present the appearance that you have yet committed to which ever side of the fence you’re actually standing on. I find that somewhat disappointing from a “just the facts please” point of view.
I admire your ability to use your self-acquired programming language education to do something you really love to do. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to fully benefit from osmotic learning methods.
Not even Ottos ridiculous attempt of justification of the data collection.
Not cool. Not even mildly humorous anymore. You’re just waving your own insecurities in the air like a big flag, for everyone else to see.
I think NetworkGeek hit the nail right on the head. You just seem to be laying bait and trolling for twitter fodder.
Best wishes!
