The third reason we really like [eNom] is because the data, right. Almost 10% of the entire web hits our servers. At least 10 million domains. In a world like the web, where everybody is everywhere, trying to figure out what people are doing, particularly in the longtail this is a really exciting source of data.

I wouldn't want to funnel a single Dollar into such a firm, just based on that.
To have access to that kind of information would be unbelievable. I agree that it is somewhat in the grey area aggregating customer data, but interesting non-the-less
