This is a trade off I am willing to accept. For as long as it’s free, no problem with me.

Their readers have been free for years, and in confirming their policy with them, they’ve confirmed: their web reader is based on Attensa servers so the attention data stays on the customer’s hardware, safely behind their firewall.

I believe (at least in the enterprise) we’re all trading the perception of privacy as we build a collection of information that the enterprise can use long after employees have moved on.

To your point, enterprise employee privacy policies should be updated to cover beyond email to RSS feeds, blogs, IM, etc. so users are fully aware of their rights.
