advertising

An article on slashdot today was discussing sites that are blocking firefox because of the adblock plugin. This all got me to thinking about how I use adblock and my feelings on ads.

First off, I'm not anti-advertising. Obviously, there's an ad over there on the right for the company that provides hosting for me and this site. It is there because I have had good experiences with them and really believe in them as a company and I don't mind a couple of bucks in my pocket for saying it. I like the think that the most annoying thing about the ad is that it is "above the fold".

A picture is worth a thousand words.
