iOS app funnels all your traffic through their servers -- one of the
worst ideas ever

  "Archambault maintains that Wajam won't slow down users' phone
   experiences, because he is relying on super-speedy Amazon
   infrastructure, and that everything will be private, because Wajam is
   TRUSTe certified. It remains to be seen how Apple reacts to the hack,
   given it could be abused."

Talk about really bad ideas.  This also points out how TRUSTe, et al.
certifications have become essentially worthless.
