IBM says it will let its customers audit the service's data storage to make sure no information inadvertently slips through those safeguards to the wrong third parties. Because the services will eventually be based on paid subscriptions--not advertising, as in the case of other Web applications like Google's--IBM is also telling users that it won't sift through customers' data to learn about them." - Cote'
