Time Mag's Cookie-Mania Costs Time and 'Time'!

[Thomas P. Koltai]

Further to my last posting, ZDNET appears to concur with the cookie "aware"
mob with their today update containing the following:

   Oh yeah, in the interests of decreasing bandwidth ;) I have removed all 
   the cc's (mainly coz the cc list was gettin' longer the messages). I left
   pathfinder.com in due to the fact that I couldnt find them on the Links
   members list and I would really like to surf Time without those damn 
   little windows popping up quite so damn often. In fact its those stupid
   little cookie windows that keep me away from Pathfinder.

     I've been visiting with Web advertising insiders about  
     their plans and I hate what I'm hearing. So will  
     you. Some of their new ways to annoy you into submission  
     include interstitials, multimedia ads and other "beyond  
     the banner" brainstorms. The real answer is personalization.  
     Let's hope someone listens before they wreck it for  
     all of us.
