UKNM: DoubleClick / Abacus Direct

[Paul Gill]

Hi,


This may have been noticed by some of the more technically knowledgeable

among you but it's an interesting article for all here:


http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/10/22/0249212&mode=thread


Talks about the acquisition of Abacus Direct by Doubleclick, and the use of

cookies from banners tied into use of information from existing marketing

databases, as well as personal details entered when registering for some

sites.


Comments?


Cheers.
