Secure your place at the Digiday Publishing Summit in Vail, March 23-25

“A personal data ecosystem will emerge, and it will come from start-ups and businesses interested in a middle road, not the extreme. I don’t think that advertisers really want our personal data, they want the characteristics about us. How do you get those characteristics about us- you need data stockers. We are saying to tracking companies why not work with us, the consumers, and get better data” – Mary Hodder, a veteran Silicon Valley technologist and founder of Dabble.com.
