A parasitic marketing technique, which involves intercepting web site traffic to profile ISP user's interests and affiliations (without explicit consent from either the web sites or their users) . Profiled ISP users can then be subjected to targetted advertising for competitor web sites (hence, parasitic marketing). Generally very unpopular with ISP users for legal, privacy and security reasons. Generally rejected by web site owners whose copyrighted content is scanned and abused to promote their rivals.

Get the Photo shoot lesbian. mug.There is a common misconception of the actual definition of photo cred. One does not simply receive photo cred for pressing a button to snap a cute pic. Photo cred is given when the photographer (whether they are professional or not) sets up a picture - in other words, when the photographer SEES the picture before it is taken. When photo cred is given, the photographer has done someone a service - a service the picture subject didn't ask for, but instead one that was given to them simply because they have a great friend who wants to take cool, "Facebook prof pic"-worthy picture of them. So don't expect to get photo cred when someone asks you to take a picture or when they set it up themselves - you as a photographer must see the picture yourself.
"Hey Susie! Stop in your tracks RIGHT THERE! The way that light is placed right behind you looks awesome. Let me take a sweet pic."
