Interesting... I was just going through the phase of unsubscribing from all of the legitimate info/news sources I had subscribed to over the years to try to reduce my daily Inbox levels, and it got me to thinking about reversing the tables so I could announce when I _wanted_ to partake and for what reason, and THEN get appropriate emails, links, ads, etc.

Right on, is there a platform for this yet?

Perhaps fbook can pivot to this... since it'd be tough without a big user base first.

This only works for non demand-creating advertising of course.

(edit "raintree" would be a great name for such a service!!! --- hint hint, go for it!)
