In response to Colin Raaberg's Post: Zip Codes


A company asking for a zip code is just another tool they use to better understand and target their customer. Do you believe that companies should be allowed to ask for zip codes or do you think it should be considered personal information and why?  


I don't consider zip codes as being personal information because it is just broad location where you live. A zip code is probably information a company can use to see what areas are buying their products. This might help the company out to maybe set up warehouses in that area to cut down shipping costs. I think it way more personal if they asked you for your address because they can sent you mail there and they know exactly where you live. I agree with Colin in that I never considered my zip code to be personal information.

What do you think about zip codes being personal information?

Snowmobile Brand Loyalty

I feel like most snowmobilers are diehard fans of one brand of snowmobiles. If the family rides they usually tend to stick to one brand of sleds. I think this is awesome that some snowmobilers stay loyal to their brand. These riders sometimes go all out with there gear as well. They dress from their boots to helmets in all their brands gear. They also buy all the accessories to put on the sled to make their sled different than other peoples. I have been riding on ski doo's all my life. I think this is the best sled because I just like the way they look. I as tricked my sled out a little in ski doo's accessories.


What is your favorite brand of snowmobiles and do you stay loyal to that brand?
