currently, whenever there are changes, we have to log into all the ad services and then change them individually — that’s a lof of work!!

in terms of price fixing and monopoly issues, we can vote MS into the panel of “Protection of Search Advertiser Association” =)

Luckily google ads are pretty easy to block with ad filters yet I remember a day when people thought google was cool… Then google ads started showing up on some web sites and they would cover or overlap the links on the web page so you could not use it, all you could do is click on a google ad.

Maybe they fixed that problem by now but I just blocked them from that point.

The more a company shifts its business model to advertising revenue, the more unstable it will be I believe. Because if a company has no real products and is entirely driven by market forces, when the fluctuates, so does their stock. When they go broke, all they can do is cook the books or wait for a bail out from the federal government.

Lucky google is retaining everyone’s personal data and they can always sell that off to other ad agencies if times get hard.
