spoke with "cathy" at hotwire; read to her parts of their privacy policy at

www.hotwire.com/travel-information/privacy-po licy.jsp

and how that didn't seem to mesh with my experience. she's referring me to her supervisor. (6:00 into the call now.)

"tracy" 1258 id.

as of nov 6 facebook beacon. pop up appears.

"need to contact at facebook privacy@facebook.com"

and then, I was cut off. Tracy was pretty angry that I would be angry at Hotwire, and kind of miffed that I would tell her that I was considering not booking through Hotwire any more because I thought they had done me wrong.

Thanks for sharing your updates, Ed.

I sincerely hope that Facebook sees some righteous response about this weird privacy advertising-without-paying-us business.
