Advertising Gets More Annoying

Submitted by rernst on Wed, 03/08/2006 - 7:39am

I see lots of sites trying out this new 'Intellitext' service.... tell me it isn't annoying, what with tons of green links everywhere that create huge popups every time you happen to move your mouse over them.

Why, they're almost as annoying as those flash ads, but not quite as annoying as the flash ads with music. Regardless, I've only one solution to this -- use adblock to ferret them out. Incidentally, this also makes it capable to block google text ads, but since I don't mind those they'll stay as they are.

Pity.

But, it's *my* computer, and my bandwidth, and my patience: that last one is far more valuable than the other two.
