I'm the accidental privacy advocate out there and I say that as it was never my intentions to dive in but I did. The reason I did was because everyone else with their good intentions are not data people, and they can't visualize the data mechanics, logic and cannot be descriptive enough about what goes on behind the scenes that you and I and nobody but the machines and the programmers can see. I got tired of reading articles that don't do anything to tell people "how it really is" and how the data mechanics work.
Yes I'm a tech and get a little out there once in a while so be kind and put up with me if will if I go off and be a little too technical at times. I work fast and sometimes I can't type fast enough to keep up with my brain and at times it gets interesting:)
I don't know if you read about CVS and their new new e-commerce announcements, but one thing to think of when you hear "e-commece" is to think data selling as that's what they are doing maximizing their data and the money it can bring in.
You can read this link and see where they are having one center in Boston and another in Silicon Valley. There's this rush for code out there it appears to make money and CVS has that written all over their face. Also this week, two big banks, Duetsche and NY Mellon, same thing looking for web coast computer code and setting up shop in Silicon Valley.
