Phorm is not progress,it is far too intrusive, it is a retrograde step back towards spyware.
Advertising works if people see it, when advertising on the web starts to annoy people they will block it.

Nor is it appropriate in certain cases , such as listening into my phonecalls to sell me something or keyword scraping my instant messenger chats - when I am searching for info fine, not when I am communicating with friends. Facebook take note.

What's so very different about phone calls and messenger chats, many people will anonymously discuss very private issues in a public forum that they wouldn't discuss with their friends or family.
