The Privacy Paradox
"Boasting that you keep personal data "private," it seems is not the way to win the search game.
That's the lesson search engine Ask.com learned when it introduced AskEraser, a feature that claimed to let users turn off tracking of their search history so they can remain anonymous as they roam the Web. But when AskEraser launched last December, it didn't create enough interest to cause even a blip in Ask.com's market share--it's still hovering around 3% of all U.S. searches, according to Hitwise, a Web traffic research firm. "

incredibile !
l'area annunci economici del sito de il Sole 24 Ore:
- di default dà la categoria 35 - Case Affitto, in cui è possibile cercare per località (come i motori di questo settore), peccato che ci sia un solo immobile, e che per trovarlo non basti cliccare sulla freccia senza inserire altri parametri di ricerca, ma bisogni cliccare sulla categoria in alto
- di default la data degli annunci è quella del giorno in cui si accede (???)
- per elencarli tutti, in questo momento: cat.35 Case Affitto: 1; cat.34 Case Vendita: 1; cat.38 Immobili Affitto: 5 (in due pagine...); cat.37 Immobili Vendita: 5 (sempre su due pagine...); cat.41 Località Turistiche: 1; cat.08 Consulenza - Outsourcing: 1; cat.02 Finanziamenti Compravendita Aziendale: 53 (in 18 pagine, senza la possibilità di visualizzarli diversamente, e tutti in data 4 novembre 2007, domenica, strano...); cat.24 Offerte Impiego: 1; cat.39 Professionisti: 5
- si possono cercare annunci anche in date successive a quella odierna, fino al 31.12.2041 (!!!)
- tutte le altre categorie sono a 0 (zero) annunci, e cioè: Viaggi Vancanze - Agriturismo; Domande Impiego; Formazione - Stage - Offerte; Rappresentanza Offerte - Franchising; Auto - Moto - Nautica; Aziende Forniture - Servizi - Applicazioni Web; Finanza - Leasing - Assicurazioni; Trasporti - Noleggio; Arte - Mostre - Antiquariato; Cinema - Teatro - Musica; Eventi - Fiere - Convegni; Varie; Necrologie
- ma vale la pena di mantenere online una cosa del genere?
