New Online Ad Model (Slashdot post)

Was searching for CSS information this week as I take my web development to a higher and more standards-compliant level. Found a helpful forum via Google (keywords “id versus class CSS”) and in a forum post were a number of seemingly helpfull double-underlined green links for certain keywords, which annoyingly revealed themselves to be targeted advertisments. And this is just days after Google announced its future Gmail service, where your messages will be scanned for keywords and linked to “relevant” online commercial interests. So for more information I went to Adage.com, your number one source for tracking new trends in capatilist manipulation and sure thing, an article on this new revenue model (about the links in forums, not Google’s Gmail). On a happier note, I submitted the link to Slashdot and they posted it this morning.
