      Intelius Says They'll Stop Selling Your Cellphone Number

      By Ben Popken, 6:34 PM on Fri Feb 1 2008, 2,414 views

      celldirect178.jpg"In response to consumer feedback," Inteliius says it will discontinue selling your private cellphone number in its searchable online database. Liz Murray, Communications Manager at Intelius in a press release that, besides trying to explain away their actions, also spent half of its time touting the company's Cell Phone Caller ID program, said, "As a company, we have strived to be at the forefront of innovation...We realize that in this instance we may have been ahead of our time." That's right, it was a notion from some future time where mankind has evolved into a more advanced being that doesn't care about its privacy. Despite the press release, as of this writing, the company is still advertising the cell phone directory on its site.
