BBC: "The Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's data watchdog, said online targeted advertising should be considered direct marketing." This is what Don Marti told me back in 2011, when he helped me with research toward The Intention Economy. it's also why, in Separating Advertising's Wheat and Chaff, I wrote this: "So how did direct response marketing get to be called advertising ? By looking the same. Online it’s hard to tell the difference between a wheat ad and a chaff one. Remember the movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers?” (Or the remake by the same name?) Same thing here. Madison Avenue fell asleep, direct response marketing ate its brain, and it woke up as an alien replica of itself."
Guess I'll be archiving and deleting all my data with 23andMe.
