Excellent suggestion, Neela!
To carry this further: send polite protests to the FTC, and all the internet
consumer rating services/sites you can find. Examples: Bizrate, Gomez,
etc. CC's (NOT bcc's) to the Internet Privacy Foundation and your
Congressional representatives wouldn't hurt, either.
Perhaps CRIV might want to send a formal protest as well. If a law firm has
an idenfiying domain and makes purchases for litigation or other client
support, real disclosure issues arise!

I just checked out the page...
They have a paragraph on the right side that says:
"How do you like Purchase Circles?
We want this information to be interesting and useful to you. Your
comments
will help us build this service into exactly what you want it to be. Please
tell us what you think by sending your comments to
purchase-circles@amazon.com.
I think we should tell them *exactly* what we think about this and make
them
go away. Note that this goes directly into a purchase-circles email box.

My $.02:
I also was not pleased with the new "service" offered by Amazon.com. On
the
left side of the home page they offer a 'send us email' option which I used.
I received the standard - "thank you for your interest -- we will forward
your comments to the appropriate department" - but if enough of us let
them
know what we think of this, they may reconsider the value of this feature.
