From a consumer stand-point, a lot of that stuff is "duh!" I hate a site compares apples and oranges. And when I can't find basic information.

Also, re: receiving emails - I hate when the check box is auto-filled so I inadvertently end up on mailing lists. And I hate when there is one check box for receiving updates, offers, etc from a company and its partners. One example of a good pick your newsletter option is ivillage.com where I can choose exactly which topics I want.

There are two organizations that continually end up on my sh!t list: LA Opera, who send me email every week, even though I've had the schedule for months, and Live Nation, who send me "Southern California Concert Update" email at least twice a week. Oh the other hand, I love Ticketmaster's targeted emails: upcoming concerts in my area by artists I've selected. They happen only when something new is going on sale, and when it's in my area. Nice.
