Ok, I know Jason doesn’t work for AOL’s search department but he’s attempted to plaster himself as AOL 2.0’s new face in the blogosphere which is just fine. His response to the AOL’s leaked data issue is weak. First off Time Warner as a cable company has often tracked user data, doesnt believe in Net Neutrality. His latest project Netscape.com doesnt even use RSS feeds because well its always been about how to get users back to their site rather than how to make users happy. Even he continues the famed legacy of AOL being truly evil.
AOL released this data around the same time that they are going to be giving away free broadband access to the AOL Services. No not freebroadband just free access to AOL.com once you have broadband. Now this may seem pretty good to you but I have to wonder if this is that great of a deal. I mean they want you to use their site for free and yet they are more than willing to release your name, your searches, and all your personal data that is no one else’ business not even my mother. I can tell you one thing for sure. I am no longer going to be using any AOL product until I have reassurances that their company isnt tracking, storing , or selling my personal information.
