Has anyone tried iTrick?

[splendidpup]

I came across this http://www.itrick.org/ today and was wondering if anyone had taken it for a spin. Seems like it might be a useful tool.

Looks like a great database program, and if I was a porn producer or the like (hmmmm--interesting thought) I'd find it very usefull for keeping track of hundreds of guys, but a few a month isn't that difficult to deal with--the outstanding ones you never forget nor do you really forget the really bad ones, and the in between you don't care if you forget or not. Maybe that's just too simplistic, but my thoughts. :+

There are a couple of concerns I have.

1) If you use it as a business tool & list details & any amount you've been paid, should there ever be any legal problems & your computer is seized, you've made the case against yourself.

2) Also in the event (which is, granted, unlikely) of police involvement, if you list information by which clients might be identified, you risk having it become something like Heidi Fleiss's little black book.

Why would "they" offer this program for free? I know there is an icon for "donate" but would bet that very few guys would do so. So......

what's in it for them? Is it possible that if you download the program, "they" would be able to tap into the data you insert - or is that just my little mind working overtime? Once again - why?

I used it for a while and found it useful. I was able to keep track of how much I was spending, and on whom. But once the "Gee Whiz Factor" wore off, I stopped using it.

 

As far as it being free, and therefore suspect, there are lots of freeware programs out there. Somebody writes a cool program and decides the rest of the world would like to have it also. There's just usually no updates or bug fixes. I rather doubt that they can "tap into" your PC and read what you've entered. I use three spyware programs and none of them have picked up on it.

I use it as a journal and I like it. As far as donations, the developer is a gay kid. You can read about him on the iTrick site. I don't think there is a nefarious scheme behind this program.

Its smart to be suspicious...I was too. But here's another example of freeware programs that has as much legitimicy you will find. I know my spelling sucks, but that makes me inperfect, of which I am.

This freeware was devoloped by "One" who is for all. He asks for donations, but if you choose otherwise...just enjoy it. There are updates and if you ask me, Id rather support someone not asking for anything, as apposed to someone who is asking for alot and delivering

what may or may not be legit....You choose, just another option.

Remember a few years ago when AOL was giving away 90 days of on line time and sending free CD software versions and updates in every days mail or so it seemed? The more people they got to use the free software the more became dependent on the product and stuck with it even after they had to start paying--seen where AOL is today?

 

Likewise, Yahoo and Hotmail gave and still do give free versions of their web based email--but they are gradually weaning people away from free to fee based email based on expanded features and bells and whistles. Same with Netscape and many many other software providers.

 

Free is a great marketing ploy for a good product, and once there is a sizable body of users, then the time comes to start charging for the "upgrades" -- I think it would be a great idea for escorts to adopt }(
