This analogy is not 100% accurate. A better attempt: If I were giving free ice creams along with a local business flyer, Rapportive is basically a stall nearby

This analogy is not 100% accurate. A better attempt: If I were giving free ice creams along with a local business flyer, Rapportive is basically a stall nearby that offers a better ice cream cone while taking the flyer.
That's the user's choice. For me as an ice cream vendor it would suck. For me as a user, it's a more yummy cone.
- jacquesm 16y agoExcept that all the income the ice cream vendor made was made from giving away the flyers, you've reduced their effectiveness to the point where the flyers no longer bring in the money and he has to close up shop. Now in the case of google that's a stretch, but this is not 'ok because it is google', neither would it be 'illegal because the party it is done to is small and vulnerable'. It's either 'ok' or it is 'not ok' not taking in to account the size of the party it is done to.
