Warning: This web at toLearn.net/marketing/ is two years old, it's unattended, and the links are rotting. However, in June 2000, the server recorded over 10,000 page requests during more than 3,000 visitor sessions from dozens of countries. Thus, I'm reluctant to take it down completely.

Here's three emails I got recently. They came all gussied up with html formatting so they looked like a cross between bad junk mail and a sleazy billboard. I retained only the CAPITALS and the exclamation points!!! You can image the hot pink words on black backgrounds. However, the content of these emails raises some interesting questions about

privacy

the value of information

Try to think back from these emails to the person who would respond by sending money. What view of the world do they have? How much digital knowledge do they have? What are the anxieties that this information will relieve?

I hope you're gaining the search skills in this course to be able to get such information yourself and not have to pay others for it unless you want to. I also hope you're realizing how valuable information brokering and tailoring can be. In addition to Netsleuth mentioned below, try the Internet Personal Investigation Site.
