[ NNSquad ] New LinkedIn service wants to proxy all your email
New LinkedIn service wants to proxy all your email http://j.mp/1ceCtUQ (LinkedIn) "Our key insight was this: we cannot extend the mail client, but we can add information to the messages themselves. One way to do this would be to modify the messages on the server - but then the modification would appear on all your clients, both desktop and mobile. That would not be what users want. Instead, we can add information to messages by using a proxy server." - - - The thought of routing all my email through a LinkedIn proxy seems more like a nightmare than a service. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
