I'm suprosed no one has suggested paying people for advertising. If the Netscape folks would integrate digicash into Communicator, then I could program my browser to only send referer to sites that paid for the information, and rent cookie space. Want your cookie to live till 1999? Thats 24 months, at 50 cents per month...do you want to pay? These tools would allow users to set a value on their privacy, and get the money from advertisers. I know nothing encourages me to buy a product like getting cold hard cash from the maker.
