Their "Beacon" service I find a gross violation of privacy for purely commercial gain. I am all in favor of users being able to talk about things they love and making the commercial transaction process more organic and user-controlled. I am against secretly tracking user behavior and the gathering of data without express opt-in.

I did a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.beachwalks.tv/2007/11/07/beach-walk-526-misguided-urges/" rel="nofollow">Beach Walks yesterday (#526)</a> that speaks to the very understandable urges people and companies have. In the case of advertising, the urge is to go louder, shinier, to go on places where "no ad has gone before" but I do think it is backfiring miserably. Health experts have the same challenge - those who are always telling others what to do eventually get shunned. No one wants to be around them, no matter how useful their advice may be.

I really hope that is the case as the invasion of daily life by advertising is becoming intolerable. I know for example that metro companies around the world are investigating how to put advertising INSIDE the tunnels by working out the speeds of the trains and images/videos inside the tunnels. I don't think they've yet discovered how to stop people from getting dizzy and sick from it though...
