HERB - Alert: Privacy and Amazon

[Jenne Heise]

If you have ordered books from Amazon.com in the past, your purchases are
now part of a 'Purchasing Circle' page that Amazon.com is making available
to everyone at the domain of the computer you used. These are aggregate
'most popular' listings, but the aggregateness of them, of course, depends
on how many people are using Amazon at that domain.

News story at:
http://www.wired.com/news/print_version/business/story/21417.html?wnpg=all

Read the story, look at the Purchasing circles, make your own decision. I
wrote to them and then had them cancel my account.
