Jessica -- Thanks for covering our new Mobile offering, which our users are telling us IS extremely useful in their work. But -- and you?ll never see this coming ;) -- we beg to differ about ?creepy.? iPhone and smartphone users can already access everything from Google satellite maps to Yelp listings, so we have a hard time seeing how our business information is any more (or less) creepy than that.
Also, we want to thank kbondelli for pointing out that section of the Hoover?s Mobile terms, because it made its way into the terms by mistake. That section is a piece of legal boilerplate, much like ones used by enterprise software companies of all sizes, that protects us from misuse of our subscription products when they?re used in large corporate installations. That section shouldn?t apply to our Mobile offerings, so we?re removing it as fast as we can get all the relevant pages updated. Thanks for bearing with us -- we?re new to the Mobile space, but we?re committed to getting it right.
