Just posted over on beta forums - compare and contrast these two reports about the SAME news article featuring Ben Camm-Jones, news editor of Web-User magazine

http://www.broadband-finder.co.uk/ne..._18573918.html with its strap-line "Phorm could be a good thing" and

http://www.equimedia.co.uk/Cookies-n...2008-04-29.htm
with its strap-line "Cookies not a great source of concern".

They are well worth a visit just to see how different the spin is from the two reporters. The first suggests that Camm-Jones is in favour of Phorm, the second suggests he is comparing Phorm's model UNfavourably with Google's cookie system from a privacy point of view.

Thanks to Peter N over on BT Beta forums. I can't locate the original comments from Ben Camm-Jones in the online version of Web-User magazine but it seems to be focussing on the Phorm cf Google element of Mr Kent Ertugrul's recent spin, mentioned in my post above.
