I've had conversations about and have heard conversations about what the heck is going on with all these new pop ups, as well as my computer acting just plain weird sometimes and only when I'm on this site it seems.
In addition to these aggravating pop ups that hopefully are blocked now. My virus/spyware stuff is giving me a notice that Mingle2.com is downloading code segments from ZEDO.com website. this website may contain adware,spyware,viruses, popup flood, Spam Zedo.com had another that I didn't write down about mingle downloading codecs for some reason for another website the most annoying pop ups are the free (but not really) wal mart gift card, something from circuit city and another I can't recall at the moment. So, anyone having this happen, can any one shed some light on any of it cause, WTF |

This might help you understand;
A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user identification to a database and associate you with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows NEXT DATING to track certain websites you visit. NEXT DATING automatically tracks certain information based upon your behavior on the site. We may use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. Each time you provide information to register your information, take advantage of a promotional offer, send us an email, or otherwise transmit information via the site, NEXT DATING may obtain and collect personally identifiable information provided by you, including, but not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number. |

If you use this browser it will block the advertisements. It is far better in many ways. All of your IE bookmarks will be transferred automatically. |

It's creepy is what it is. It's like when we discuss something on here, I get ads somehow related to the topic. And, the system must think I'm a lesbian who is into BBW's, too. And, they must be spying as I get ads for jewelrytv. Talk about Big Brother!! Glad I'm not into porn. Oh, no!!! I typed porn!!! Now what will come up!?!?
Was there some kind of "opt out" I missed on here? I don't like the thought of arbitrary advertisers trying to read my mind or words, or think it's okay to have my personal info to THAT degree, phone numbers and such!! |

so all that malarkey we were given about our info not being given out to third parties (this according to the mods here) was totally bogus, then. it would explain all the scammers sending me scam IMs and emails and stuff.

when something works just fine we have IT geeks and marketing majors that just have to get their little kudos by tweaking and improving things,
really not much we can do I guess. They like to say, oh clear this and that, it still wasn't happening on the other site or this one at first |

not to worry, download on me now is all I can say
or whatever they call what supposedly aint so |
|
|

not any damn hearsay about it , it is happening not only that, but the mods themselves said what they did about not giving away information, and getting word from THEM about anything is considered first-hand info, as far as i'm concerned. i guess all that stuff doesn't apply to data mining, huh. |
