LMAO if I knew I would have already have done it since they get the info anyways.
Voted : I don't know
And I wouldn't want to try it. Having been identity-jacked once, I wouldn't want to have any more info on myself in public than absolutely necessary. Granted, these days now have far better methods of safeguarding such info, but spending three years getting all sorts of crap because of the depraved morals of one person isn't worth *any* amount of money.

But I want in on this info too.

I'm not sure Robin, but more importantly, it's great you're back again! :) It's been a while since you last commented, so welcome back!
In answer to your question, I guess the best summation I've heard is: "in today's information age, the general public does not have, nor should it expect to have, a sense of privacy." In short, what this speaker said was that the hottest commodity today is information...namely, new names. New contacts...new potential customers to market to.
The reasoning was that most markets are mature markets. Europe, Japan, North America, etc. are what are known as mature markets that are some what tapped out. But, they are still the most liquid markets in that unlike developing markets, people of those nations/regions have disposible incomes to spend on products, where as in emerging markets, they do not. So...knowing who these potential customers are and having a means of communicating to them, is considered a valuable commodity. As an example, about 6 months ago, a company called our house to offer ME, life insurance. Dummies. :)
I'm not sure why I just posted such a ridiculously blowhard comment. :)
