Pity Robot Co-op

I think it’s a shame what the people of robot co-op, who created 43things, have to go through (follow-up here) after salon broke the news that they were funded by amazon. I don’t know any of them personally, but they’ve built a lovely service and appear to be nice chaps. Besides, i don’t get what’s the big story here? Amazon already has 100 times more data about me than robot co-op could possibly ever get.
Addendum: Jason Kottke has a much nicer post about the whole thing.
