The issue here is not people keeping an eye on big business.... It is BIG BUSINESS keeping an eye on what people say (think) about BIG BUSINESS.
My opinion here is it is likely to generate alot of Cease and Desist letters to bloggers, websites that host bloggers, and so forth.
It may, just may, actually be used to harvest data that will improve services, products, software, etc but I think many companies simply cannot bear to look into the mirror of public opinion without casting rocks.
Should be called "IBM WEBSPHERE LITIGATION SERVICES EXPRESS" because that's what it is most likely going to be used for. Fortunate 500 squashing all us that dare to have a publicly held opinion.
