What is Digg?40 Comments
- secretwhistle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+33Sure, everyone else is ***** my sister, but you don't see me standing in line.
- Alphateam, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30Is she cute?
- fnaqzna, on 10/10/2007, -2/+186. You can make money without doing evil. (http://www.google.com/corporate/tenthings.html)
Sorry, Google... but as far as I'm concerned, DoubleClick IS evil. - HAMM3R, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17I went to DoubleClick.com and none of the images appeared. Gotta love Adblock!
- iagn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14As good a time as any to remind people that Adblock for Firefox is excellent - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
- Cwo655321, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15All of these deals are good for consumers, of course, because we'll start seeing "more relevant and useful ads."
i call *****, no one wants to see ads - siggyfawn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12a/s/l
- KnightMareInc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11pics
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Can I have sexy time with your sister?
- Alphateam, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10They won't let Sirius and XM merge either. It just depends what politicians you have in your pocket. AT&T must have some great dirt on some high up people.
- meruru, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9"These market dynamics will ultimately benefit consumers who will see more relevant and useful ads..."
Because we all use the Internet in order to see the ads. - ghostfly, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10So much for their "Don't be evil" motto
- spyd3rweb, on 10/10/2007, -2/+82. It's best to do one thing really, really well.
they threw that one out the window long ago... - Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7If everyone else does it then it must be right!
- Pixelpaws, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Someone needs to remind Google that "common practice" is a logical fallacy and not a valid reason for doing something.
- alllie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Yes, DoubleClick is evil.
It follows you around the internet spying on you. Just like Bush wants. - weebit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
- pegisys, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3AT&T didn't need dirt, they had access to almost everyones phone and internet habits. If the government wants to start sending targeted ads to people I sure they would allow Google to do what eve they wanted as well
- Homunculiheaded, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5no, no it just need a little asterix*
*unless said evil shall provide Google inc. with any potential benefit, financial or otherwise in the present or future. Additional exclusions include being 'merely naughty', 'not good', or 'bastards!'. Evil is a relative concept and subjective definitions may not apply. - Cole2026, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Did you know?: Google's a corporation, they want to make money. That is what corporations do, then do things for their own profitable interests.
- NinjaBoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Then there was probably something horrible happening and it would be a good idea to jump.
- Desimat0r, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Not a merger. This is an acquisition / takeover.
- Cole2026, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2So, what if Google cleans doubleclick up? What if they tried to get them just to get their advertising base?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4if everyone else was jumping off a bridge...
- nackerson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Please learn the difference b/n a merger and an acquisition before posting on the topic?
- monsterling, on 01/26/2008, -0/+1127.0.0.1 anon.doubleclick.speedera.net seems to cause most links on sirius.com to stop working.
don't block this in your hosts file if you listen to sirius satellite radio online. - daftman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2"So when you ***** up, you can find your way back."
- theholycow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's news to me. Last I heard, Sirius bought XM and has plans to merge. I'd be really happy to find out that they're NOT going to merge. I switched from one to the other because I prefer one just the way it is and don't like the other quite so much (note I did not specify which, to avoid beginning the fanboy flamewar).
- Jammerdelray, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Because your google, your supposed to lead by example with you being #1 after all.
- IneffablePolk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2People keep saying that, but personally I've yet to see the evil
- pickypg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2You mean trying to get it cheaper for their own profitable interests?
The only good that Google has done was a good search engine and GMail. Gmail serves ads and easily makes more money than they lose on the storage space, and clearly the search is a money harvest with the ads there. I do not use a single other service that they offer, and everything they do has profits in mind rather than the consumer. In a lot of cases, it happens that our interests coincide with their profits, which is the best business decision you can make, but DoubleClick is nothing except improving upon their ads, and where does that fit into helping the customer (who likes ads? even those who occasionally click them don't like them). - ckup619, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1"'What does it all mean?' Chavez asks before letting us know exactly what it means"
lol - Cole2026, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1But Google's going to un-evil DoubleClick. :)
- fani, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3Google sucks. It keeps spewing "I'm not evil" while continuing to do evil a lot nowadays. Its turned to the dark side and it hasn't even realized it.
Doubleclick sucks. All my filters block anything originating from doubleclick. - stmiller, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Just add this to your hosts file to block all doubleclick:

127.0.0.1 www3.doubleclick.net - pandasonic, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1I don't think he's trying to use that excuse, per se, he probably means that if the government will allow other companies (one in particular that actually has a record of monopolizing) do it then why not let Google do it? I don't see what the problem is either way, it's just ads. We still end up having control over it, if you don't want ads on your site then don't put any up. If you don't want to see ads on the internet then pay for the content you like. It's that simple.
- theholycow, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1And if you use Opera, check out my urlfilter.ini at
http://ronanian.googlepages.com - Felekar, on 10/10/2007, -8/+4Come on now, it's Google. Look at what they're doing with the 700 mhz bandwidth. It's obvious they think about their customers before their pocketbooks.
