   When you go to a newspaper site and click on an article and they stop you and ask for your zip code and year of birth, do you give correct information?

   Oooh. Excellent idea. I will now add that as a poll to Techdirt (assuming you don't mind?).
   
   My personal answer: No. Either I don't fill out the info at all, or I use the "example" data provided or nonsensical/amusing data.

   Sure, add it, it'll be interesting. I wonder if anyone at all gives correct info? I usually use the example data too. If they were smart they would use a non-existent zip code as the sample so they could filter those out, but they probably use a valid local code.

   I provide actual data. I don't give out personal information, but if the year I was born, my gender and a zip code is going to help them make money to continue to provide me with free news stories, then it's a price I'm willing to pay.

   I make myself into a 95 year old woman living in a totally different part of the country. I wonder if they will send me a pop up greeting when I turn 100?
