"The problem for newspapers is that a story headlined 'Two Dead in Baghdad' isn't very product-friendly," said Kent Ertugrul, chief executive of Phorm, a behavioral targeting company working with British newspapers. "But if you know who is looking at the page, that's where the opportunity is."

I think what the slime-ball is trying to say is that he knows a good way to make money out of this sort of headline. You might read such an article to keep yourself informed about important events, but if Phorm knows you are interested in a holiday in Spain, you can also see all the ads for Spanish package holidays at the same time.

I know several members of our armed forces who have recently seen active service in that neck of the woods, including someone who has been awarded a Military Cross. They will be less than impressed by this statement and I intend to ask what the MOD think of it.

Kent, you are an idiot.

I'm not sure where on the toilet - down pipe - sewer - sewage farm continuum this puts Mr Ertugrul and his nasty little company, but whereever it is, BT are right there alongside him. Personally I think I'd locate it somewhere just below the outfall/discharge pipe.

I've sent this one up to BT management just so they know where they are PR-wise.

Thanks Sirius

I've just noticed - the BT logo has disappeared off the page - I think we may be rattling them. Keep reporting it, everyone - maybe they will even move it back to BT servers.

They've got a broken image at the top because they missed out a slash in the path:

Silly plonkers.

Hopefully they've missed out something equally small and vital in Ts & Cs or contracts that will leave Phorm hanging from a cliff. And nowadays I don't care if BT joins them there too.

Not silly plonkers- worried plonkers. That logo was there yesterday. It's the phishing reports that have got them worried?

Just keep them on the run, keep harassing them.

Why not write to BT Retail legal again with the phishing allegation?
