			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an interesting <a href="http://tech.yahoo.com/news/afp/20090422/tc_afp/internetmediaitspain" target="_blank">article on Yahoo! Tech</a> this afternoon, web founder (who helped develop the HTTP technology that runs the web) Tim Berners-Lee, spoke to a consortium in Madrid about online privacy. The discussion in question was a new piece of software that will allow ISPs to track demographics and deliver advertising to customers.  Quoting Berners-Lee: &#8220;The postman does not open my mail, the telephone company does not listen to my <span id="lw_1240412265_2" class="yshortcuts">telephone conversations</span>. Internet use is often more intimate than those things.&#8221;. Word.</p>
<p>It seems like a lot of broad-band technologies seem to be taking a more pro-active approach to their advertising. I mentioned earlier cable television networks plan to do the same thing- gather localized demographics about what you watch and use it to target advertising.</p>
<p>Y&#8217;know, so many services gather incomprehensible amounts of data about us wherever we go, the pessimist in me thinks this argument is just a drop in the bucket even from the Founder.</p>
