Just goes to show you that money goes toward things that benefit the wealthy, not humanity.

I'm amused by the idea that marketers are so out of touch with humanity that they might actually think people would be interested in using this.
I'm just a little boy.

This guy is a genius. I'm betting he knows that people won't actually use this crap, but that advertising executives are stupid enough to think that people will and are therefore willing to pay for his service. Sounds like a good way to raise a little capital for another venture to me.

Obvious problems:

1.) I'm so used to ignoring ad banners that, by the time I've noticed one I might be interested in, I've already clicked on a different link and the ad is lost to the rotation. I would never even be able to use this service.

2.) At best, I expect that most AdKeeper buttons will just open the ad link and do nothing else.

This isn't going to benefit anyone. I don't think even marketing execs are going to fall for this crap.

yeah honestly there is the rare occasion that an ad strikes my interest, but I've already clicked past it.. and when I try to click my back button it's gone.

Also, I think Crimson just might be right about that. Time will tell I guess.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

As someone who lived through the dotcom boom, I can honestly say this is one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard.

-Well, maybe not, but some of those ideas turned out to be hideously popular. Try explaining "You're The Man Now Dog" to a venture capitalist.

I find the misplaced comma in the last sentence of that article very annoying for some reason.

Ad banners? The internet still has those?

Adblock.
2010-12-28, 5:55 AM #18
I don't use Adblock because everything just seems a little soulless without banners. :P
nope.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it pretty much the same damn thing as adding something to my favorites list? Wouldn't that be easier anyway? Just save the webpage I found the ad on.

Yeah but you are so busy that clicking a link and bookmarking the page is just too much out of your way.. Even though that 2 clicks it took you to do that probably takes less time than to "save" the ad to view later.
