I'll never try the product for that reason. They spammed me at work, then on LinkedIn, then cold-called my cellphone [which I really hate to be called on by anyone I don't know]. I demanded to be taken off their contact list, and then said they would.

So then a few days later, the same guy called my home phone. I was a bit less polite that time, and perhaps I got my message across, or perhaps he's just run out of ways to try to contact me.

Datadog, you really blew it.

I don't know about this person, but my name is pretty unique

Enter it into Google and my (former) home number is a click away. And it's only former because I don't have a home phone anymore

There are services that round up all this information and link it that I'm sure sales people would use as well

Yes, there are companies who sell their app which is just a database of contact information and a plugin to link it,

Who knows where those companies got it, but you can sleep soundly knowing you bought it from a “Real company.”

I am pretty sure they are getting it from linkedin. I felt like a conspiracy theorist but I signed myself up for a SIP line and started getting calls on it from Datadog and The Register after I added it to linkedin.
