In my opinion, namma DOB vaangi enna vizhavaa edukka poraan. He would not even print it in the corner of his magazine. Gathering more such irrelevant information is a gross invasion of one's privacy. Moreover, the Profession, Education might make sense for some statistics information that so many professionals read this magazine blah blah blah... But why income???

Atleast that is one useful thing that immediately comes to my mind. The percentage distribution of the the subscribers in different age group. I think that would be a great way to collect important data, and modify the subscribed content(not completely but slight changes) to add glit and gloss that the particular age group expects. I think the same goes for other fields like annual income range, educational background and profession. For classifying the audience and to focus on catering to the majority group to boost sales.

I have seen an online shop (forgot which one it is) issuing nothing short of a fatwa as error messages. I tried to save those msgs for posting in my blog.. will dig around to see if I still have them.
