Would Clipmarks ever be so crass? If what Clippers clipped and popped was content analysed, it would be a gold mine for marketing companies. Do Forbes know this? Such an analysis would be very useful and ethical of the individuals names were stripped from the data. Marketers and pollsters would still get a unique picture of what people are interested in.
