Hi Kevin,
Mike here - one of the Access Granted peeps.This isn't meant to be an ad content.
Could you let us know how you see it as an ad xoz we'll have to change to ensure its not perceived as one.Was, perhals, the photo on the front page - tbh, I'm not sure how I put that in and will not being it again (once I find out what I did)
We've been collecting "tech" (for want of a better word) stories and sharing them for a number of years and Russell has kindly allowed us to share them here as well.

Access Granted: Kat Greenbrook – From…, in reply to Mikaere Curtis,
Hi Mikaere,
It's true we link back to the Access Granted site, we've taken thre view that no-one wants to see all our jibber jabber on Public Address (we can be quite busy and verbose sometimes) and so we're only cross-posting the actual episodes.
In essence, the people's stories are our focus and not the website and we don't expect others to ever go to our site.
You're not alone talking about the "noisy bar" and how it gets in the way of listening. We walk a thin line between "having a chat" and "being BBC quality" - it's never our intention to become the latter but we are working towards upping our game - costs money and it's tough when it's a project of love and passion.
Unstructured ... yip, it's a chat not an "interview".
BUT, happy to take guidance on how we could improve ... -

Now that totally sucks - let us do some digging around and find out why that is the case. Sorry to hear it

Access Granted: Kat Greenbrook – From…, in reply to Alfie,
Hi Alfie,
Sorry that's how it comes across - we try and share the people's stories especially focusing on the "WHY do they do what they do?", and "HOW do they do what they do?".
Of course companies, products and services are mentioned but it's never intended to be the reason for the episodes. Sometimes we aren't as clever at filtering it out as we are with others.

Hi Moz,
Mike here - one of the Access Granted peeps.No this isn't sponsored content (we do it for the love and off the smell of an oily rag).

Thanks buddy, I hope we can bring stories that the PA community can engage with, let us know if we stumble short of this goal ...

A most excellent article, thank you

So, now what?
If, as it seems to me by the conversation (or lack) from my family & friends this is a non-subject then what do we, who claim to be appalled actually do?
I have no answer. I am at a lost.
What do to you, I, we do?(Keith is doing what he can using the skills and outlets he has, how do I support/grow his action with whatever I'm supposed to do?)

Hard News: The not-so-Evil Empire, in reply to Tony Meyer,
"(It’s a contrast to Android, since Google wants better advertising, which necessitates weaker privacy – and some people are happy to make this trade)."
citation required!Each and every Android app before installing (or if they change permission requirements) tells me what they required - I choose if I want to continue.
Here's the list of what they are asking me to allow: http://techpp.com/2010/07/30/android-apps-permissions-secure-private-data/
