I recently read a blog entry by Ed Foster, columnist for Infoworld.com, part of the IDG Network of online publications. In the entry, Mr. Foster discusses an e-mail sent to him by a reader who purchased a monitor from TigerDirect, had to fill out an online rebate form with OnRebate.com and was apparently shocked when the form asked for the industry he worked in and his job function. As much as I respect privacy, I think Mr. Foster?s take on the situation and the reader?s reaction are farfetched in this case.
