Currently, they don't even ask for a CC #. The subscription is for just a session. It's so totally easy right now. One can oay $19.99 to opt out of the ads.

But, this company is hiring me to implement the Big Brother software that I am so concerned about.

So, The match is excellent; I have extensive experience in an area that they lack yet is critical to their business. The software engineers that I would work with are good guys and we had great discussions at the white board. I meet with top management tomorrow.

The most important thing to me is enjoying the job on a day-to-day basis. Part of that is not being micromanaged, but given responsibility for an entire area. The guy I would work for is more than happy to delegate responsiblity for this particular area to me.

Anyway, I think it is better if I implement the ad targetting software with my greater concern for user privacy.


Thru a twisty and winding path, I seemed to have found a good place for me to work. I'll be able to better evaluate the situation as tomorrow's meetings unfold.
