New York Times hooks up with Linked In
Gutterwatch Time to quit
NEWSPAPER the New York Times has hooked up with poncy social job-seeking site Linked In to serve up targeted articles to its readers.
If you're both a reader of the Times and daft enough to have joined Linked In under the impression that you'll hang out with a smart set of rich and clever friends, then a list of articles will appear on the pages of the digital edition of the paper that are targeted at you, depending on what job description you filled in on the site.
Linked In bogger Scott Roberts reckons the "strategic relationship" will "allow readers to receive targeted news articles based on their unique attributes. In addition, they’ll also be able to share and discuss articles they read on NYTimes.com with other Linked In members in their network."
What a pain. Not only does Linked In bombard you with "I wanna be your mate" emails from people you've never heard of, it now seems to be making money by flogging your details to third parties.
And you'll probably now get bombarded with articles you won't want to read from people you wish weren't your friends anyhow.
Sheesh. Time to quit. µ

FFS i wanna live dangerously !!
FFS targeted this and targeted that, GET OUTA MY FACE YOU FLAMIN NUISANCES, jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez i wanna surprise now and again !!! O_o
its another form of censorship as far as im concerned, "unique attributes" rollocks, how come, its a common fact that the sad peeps that use these social notworking sites tell a pack of lies !!! so where does targeting come into the picture ?? talk about virtual NON reality !!!!! O_O
NAMES Reveal alot to Victimizers.
Tracking peoples by Name, Grocery List or Rank are OLD. Unforetuneately, also very effective. Women, Like Soldiers & Cops (even young Children), have NO Actual Name. You Have to grip them to get them.Looking for few names in Public lists known to be generous, courteous, & intelligent by perpetrators, brings next Generation of thrill seekers whom seek free apt. Yours. Free retirement, Yours. Free, well, free everything You Owned or knew. Like Sweep Burning Down Town, One Home At Time.
BE WARNED. You Got EVERYHING To Lose. NO Posibility of Winning, Even one miniscule Speck Off Ground is too much to Share.
Its More Than Conspiracy, Its Horrrible LIE.

No need for us to ask, we know what you want.The sad thing is many people will be happy that someone tells them what they need to know. Saves them having to think.
If you sleep, eat and read the same thing
one day you're going to turn away from it.It's boring to see the same thing all the time. If someone's job is Computery Stuff then would they also want loads of Computery News, Computery Movies, Computery Songs, etc, they will get sick of if.
Media people, just write interesting stuff about anything. If it's interesting we will be interested by it.
