To O-A'ers --

This morning I was going through the online trades and saw this little
tid-bit...

Friday March 5, 8:43 pm Eastern Time
 Bomis.Com Browser Kills Pop-Up Advertising!
 Kills Pop-Up Advertising, Maintains Java Capabilities

  ...the Bomis Browser, ...eliminates pop-up advertisements
  and yet maintains all the great Java and JavaScript capabilities
  of modern browsers. The new Bomis Browser is available for free
  download over the Internet at http://www.bomis.com/download.html.
  (The file is just 731 KB and downloads in under 5 minutes!)

  "We anticipate a large public demand for this," says Bomis=20
  cofounder Jimmy Wales. "People absolutely hate these pop-up=20
  advertisements."

  (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/990305/ca_bomis_c_1.html)


This seems to be a real trend: as the online marketing and
advertising community adopts and deploys a new tool, the
technologists create some = way to block the advertising or
take the tools away. You can see this with = the Bomis
product and the myriad software suites that will strip ads
off web pages.

I think this goes to the core issue of online marketing:
Have we created = an online marketing model that is accepted
by consumers?

I think the answer is no. I'd love to hear from others as to
what your companies are doing to increase consumer
acceptance of online ads.

Dan.
