Run a Google search for whenu and you will find out all kinds of disturbing things about the company...here's what they say...

Here's some info:

Abstract: Web site "cloaking" is the practice of providing different web content to users than to search engines. Through cloaking, WhenU elevates the visibility of sites it selects, while pushing critics' sites lower in search engine rankings. This article documents my finding that WhenU has used cloaking on at least eleven web sites, and that WhenU has linked to its cloaked sites with hidden code on www.whenu.com. Upon learning of these behaviors, search engines Google and Yahoo removed from their indexes the WhenU sites involved in the scheme (including www.whenu.com).
