Slashdot Mirror
Going From Gator to Claria
Ant writes "Wired News has an article on the famous spyware company that went from Gator to Claria. From the article: 'Three years ago the company was considered a parasite and a scourge. Today it's a rising star -- selling virtually the same product. How a pop-up pariah won the adware wars.'" The name change happened about two years ago, and a lot has changed since then.
I find it slightly disconcerting, as a subscriber to the print version of Wired Magazine, that a lot of the articles I pay to receive every month end up on their website for free and then are subsequently linked to Slashdot. Seems like there isn't much point in paying for the magazine when I can read most of the articles free of charge on their site. And online you don't have every other page being a block of advertisements like you do in the magazine...wow, the more I think about it the more worthless that subscription is. Good thing is was a gift :)
