Humble Pie: No offense to Tekrati

Time, once again, to eat the humble pie.

The other day, I posted an entry referencing the Tekrati analyst directory in the same breath as invasive AR activities and the "Runaway Jury" movie. It was brought to my attention after the fact that my post could be read as saying the Tekrati service was intrusive. Note that I don't think it is. Researching Tekrati caused me to think about the intrusiveness of AR, but not because it is itself intrusive - just because it made me think of it. That statement, "seeing that made me think of xyz" could be taken (the way I meant it) as "seeing that made me think of xyz [because other people might carry it to an unhealthy extreme]" or (caustically) as "seeing that made me think of xyz [because it is]." I meant it the non-caustic way.

So, sorry to those folks for the slight - really, it was unintentional.
