171    \startitem and your adressbook, so that we can tell your friends \stopitem
172    \startitem it is free for personal use \stopitem
173    \startitem but mixed with advertisements \stopitem
174    \startitem and it predicts your favourite look and feel \stopitem
175    \startitem of course it collects your data (for your benefit) \stopitem
176    \startitem it organizes your content the way it thinks best \stopitem
177    \startitem and offers you only all kind of benefits \stopitem
178    \startitem and it keep buzzing and popping up \stopitem

194    \startitem we then need investors ... going big is a \quote {must} \stopitem
195    \startitem so eventually we sell ourselves \stopitem
196    \startitem naturally we get sold over and over again \stopitem
