I should know better, but I fall for it every time. The hook is they bundle something wildly obtrusive with something so useful.

Well, by using FURL.NET you are after all, publishing your bookmarks, links, and
comments for all to see on the web… anybody who uses furl a lot would probably
disguise their user name, email, and any private information… any others,
paranoids, or criminals, you have been warned!

FURL.net is a HUGE convenience for anyone who wants to keep a repository on the web of their bookmarks and notes… the value obtained must be weighed against any privacy issues… Who cares if they keep tabs, anyway? It’s like TiVo keeping track of your TV watching… You have to weigh the benefits against any “loss of privacy”.

I will continue my semi-anonymized use of FURL, and enjoy the benefits. I would gladly pay an annual fee, but that is impossible, so they have to fund themselves somehow.

I like Furl.net. Everyone grabs your data including the servise you blog through. It’s the internet and it is only free because companies have found a way to make a buck or two. Relax.
