Verisign Plans to Revive SiteFinder Advertising 'Service'

Posted by michael on from the think-of-the-consumers dept.

kiddailey writes "Claiming that their own independent examination of their controversial redirection service has found 'no security or stability problems', and that 'Internet users consider the service a helpful tool to navigate the web', Verisign has announced that it will give a 30- to 60-day notice before resuming the SiteFinder 'feature' that it voluntarily shut-down a couple of weeks ago."

    Their "team of experts" must consist of :
    1) a banker
    2) an enginee^H^H^H^H^H^H^H MSCE
    3) 3 Marketing droids
    4) the woman in the coffe shop across the road
    5) and ... Dalr McBride who can prove that the Internet contains data that belongs to SCO.

    They must have quite the dream team of experts to come to such a conclusion.

    Oh those wonderful guys at VeriSign, giving us this 'service' free of charge! I mean, this is something I'd pay $30, even $60 a month to use!
    They've always been one of those 'for-a-better-internet' companies.
