Gator Be Gone!

Gator Be Gone! 03/19/2003 10:45 PM

Here's a little tip for Internet Explorer users if you're tired of Gator and its attempts to install itself on your PC.

"Hopefully by now you have removed that password manager/form filler Gator since it's gotten a bad reputation as spyware.  As an added precaution to keep the software from installing unwanted files on your system, also consider adding Gator to your list of restricted sites.  To do this, click on Tools, Internet Options, Security tab, and the Restricted Sites icon. Click on Sites and type '.gator.com' without the quotes into the 'Add this Web Site to the zone', then click on Add and OK." [Neat Net Tricks, 3/15/2003]

No IPO For Gator

No IPO For Gator 08/12/2004 04:30 AM
While people are still watching for that Google IPO any day now, the door seems to be slamming shut for many other dot coms that hoped to leap through into the publicly traded world. Among the many firms who have delayed or pulled their IPOs in recent days, famed adware ("don' t call us spyware!") company Claria (better known as Gator). No details are given, but there's a short blurb in this article noting that Claria has delayed its IPO citing "unfavorable market conditions". Maybe the problem is that their "adware" is bogging down all their underwriters' computers. August is almost always a notoriously bad month for IPOs, so it makes you wonder why so many companies have been trying to push through now. Chances are the IPO market will rebound again at some point in the near future, so this may just be a short-lived break before Gator-ware infects Wall Street.

NewsGator is NOT "Gator"

NewsGator is NOT "Gator" 06/17/2005 07:17 PM

Shortly after I announced that NewsG ator had acquired my company, I started seeing comments from people wondering whether NewsGator was related to the "Gator" spyware company (now known as "Claria"). The answer, of course, is NO (you don't really think I'd join a spyware company, do you?).

NewsGator founder Greg Reinacker wrote about this problem a few months ago, and wondered whether a name change was in order to prevent the unintended association. But renaming a company isn't the simplest thing to do, and even if the rename took place, people would still refer to us as "the former NewsGator company," defeating the purpose.

Funny thing is, I had a simil ar post in my own blog last month, related to some people taking offense to the "demon" part of FeedDemon's name. Given the problems with both names, I think it's safe to say that if we ever rename the company, we won't choose the name "GatorDemon" :)

Gator Wants To Go Public As Claria

Gator Wants To Go Public As Claria 04/09/2004 04:04 PM
You may remember that late last year, Gator changed their name to Claria to try to shake the "spyware" label that people kept hanging on them. Of course, a better way to do that might have been (this is just a suggestion, of course) to stop shipping sneaky adware that installs itself without people realizing it. Instead, they changed the name and made their webpage look all spiffy as if they're some kind of marketing company. Now, that they've given people a few months to forget what they're really doing, they've decided to file for an IPO where they hope to raise lots of cash to come up with other ways to get on your computer. The filings show that sneaking your way onto computers can be profitable, as they brought in $35 million in profit on revenue of $90 million.

Gmail's Similarities To Gator

Gmail's Similarities To Gator 04/26/2004 02:13 AM
ClickZ has an article that points out for all the complaints about Google's Gmail offering, one area that people haven't really explored is how it's actually similar to Gator in certain ways. Of course, since so many people hate Gator, this will automatically be seen as a negative - but what people hate about Gator is that it gets installed without the user knowing it, which isn't the case with Gmail. Also, Gator covers up other sites with popups from competitors, while Gmail just place regular text ads off to the side. However, there are some similarities - and you can imagine that companies will get upset when they find out that next to their own email marketing there is an ad for a competitor. How long until a merchant sues? There have been a number of similar cases against Gator (and others) and the results have been mixed depending on the judge. I stand by my position that throwing up competitors ads by itself should be perfectly legal - as long as the user knows what's happening and the software hasn't been put on their machine without their knowledge. Still, not everyone sees it that way - and it's likely that an annoyed retailer will sue. Another option, as suggested by Jeremy Wagstaff, is that companies that advertise by email will move to alternatives like RSS. Of course, once Gmail adds an RSS news aggregator to their Gmail product they'll face the same issue. Maybe, instead of worrying so much about competitors' ads showing up, they should just focus on making sure their product is something people want.
