Junk mail is a great first-step to target, especially if you consider that most consumers understand junk mail and would most likely glaze over if you spoke to them about Internet advertising and behaviorial targeting. I think the time will come for the latter. I would think anyone "assisting" the consumer this way will be considered a "trojan horse" unless its a .org or the EFF.

Any additional insights here? It seems like they are using this service as a trojan horse to get into providing other services to consumers ?

I've already tried ProQuo, but I'm going to give GreenDimes a shot too. I love the grassroot mantra behind GreenDimes, which is more engaging and educational. And you can't go wrong with spending $15 and getting a tree planted in your name. The fight against junk-mail is worth fighting on all fronts. Cheers, Atul Hi Sanjiv,
