I’ve been waiting for this to happen.  When the first US Mobile Web affiliate network would open their doors.  And now it has officially happened.  OfferMobi announced their US rollout at AdTech this week.

CNET is reporting that Amazon has filed suit in Washington State to protect the private transactional data of it’s customers from the demands of North Carolina officials.  Specifically, North Carolina has been digging for sales tax revenue and it wants to force Amazon to disclose 7 years worth of purchase history of it’s customers from [...]
