My bank for example...It's one of those "password must contain atleas 8 characters, upper and lowercase and atleast one number". Okay, I did that, I've managed to remember it...but then, I have to have 8 different security questions. It doesn't always promt me with one, but about every 5th time I log into the site they throw me one of the questions. I can't keep up with all the answers. There are multiple answers to most of the questions. I don't have a fave band, I have several. I don't have a fave candy, or movie or any of that other crap.... So, if I answer wrong 3 times, they disable my account and make me re-register it.....*grumble*</p> Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:44:52 -0700 http://iaslash.org/node/7477 <p>Companies trying to get personal with their Web site visitors in hopes of increasing sales are wasting more money than they're earning, warns a new report.</p> <p>The Jupiter Research report, 'Beyond the Personalization Myth,' assails as expensive and unproductive the practice of Web site personalization, which tailors pages according to information gathered about particular visitors.</p> <p><a href="http://rss.com.com/2100-1038_3-5090716.html?part=rss&#038;tag=feed&#038;subj=news">Report slams Web personalization | CNET News.com</a></p> Wed, 15 Oct 2003 06:29:31 -0700
