I have been reading with interest news about the possible purchase of Claria (formerly Gator) by Microsoft.
See my "Gator" cartoon below to see how I really feel about the subject. I applaud David Coursey, an Eweek writer for just plain laying it on the line, the way many of us see it! Some of his quotes below:
Quote:

"Opinion: By buying online marketer Claria, Microsoft would be rewarding people who steal advertising revenue from others' Web sites... I said this about Napster and will repeat it in regards to Claria: People who invest in socially irresponsible (or reprehensible) companies should not be rewarded. The people responsible for Gator created a business designed to steal advertising revenue from other people's Web sites... Eventually, the media got wise to Gator, and the company tried to hide its past by changing its name. You can change the name, but not the history."
