An interesting and good question. When I look and see how this MileSpy thing was put together I know that the information wasn't exclusive to FlyerTalk. Here at the magazine side of things we knew about it some 4 weeks ago. As for profiting on that information. Honestly I have mixed feelings. I'm big on the community thing and sharing and what the best of FlyerTalk is all about. That was why this board was launched some 3+ years ago. As far as profiting, my guess is that I in a since could be accused of the same thing I feel uncomfortable with. After all, that's what InsideFlyer built it's base on, taking information that was publicly available, analyzing it and then selling it back to the public. I've never felt real guilty of that because I know in things other than frequent flyer programs, I pay Consumer Reports, etc. money to do research for me. MileSpy is not a program that is unique. They have taken a very rich partner program offering and for a fee are willing to do all the paperwork and other things to help you get the most value for miles. I don' think I've done a good job of explaining my thoughts on this. On one side it's a great example of entrepreneurial effort, on the other, it does take advantage of FlyerTalk and the ease in which any information can be plucked and re-packaged. Having said all this, I guess the thing we would need to keep in mind is that for those of you who are real FlyerTalkers, we wouldn't use that program anyway since we know what it is and how it works and if we wanted to exert the effort, would do it ourselves. Perhaps what we could do in the future is to suggest to members who do in a way profit from FlyerTalk to tithe a donation back to the board to go toward supporting the infrastructure. I'm only one person, what is more important is the collective thoughts of our members. What do you have to say?
