SmartAds?

Wasn't that the name of the service developed by Gizmondo?

The good news: the banners will become more useful, especially in the context of "major" brands that keep trying to touch you with product. Not necessarily bad: I shop at Wal*Mart, Sears, Target, etc. and you never can tell when they might offer something interesting.

The bad news: if you've been using your "pornograph" to look for free pix of Paris or Pam, your banner ads are going to be pumped full of juciy sites with a lot of HOT and XXX words in them. Might be useful for finding the local amateur night at the local strip joint, but likely more of a cause for spousal abuse (of you!) or your boss raising an eyebrow when looking over your shoulder at a presentation...

Best stick to asking taxi drivers and the in-room movies rather than doing a e-search...

with improved advertising on the web always presenting me stuff i'm interested in they try to pull the last deutsche mark out of my empty pockets...

oh änd sohry for mah lausy englisch - me is a kraut

Now that is Cool....

An ad service that understands my needs and desires. I guess I can remove all my pop up blockers, change my hosts file and remove the AdBlock ext. from Firefox. I am not going to see another single advertisement ever again!

At least I wont if the SmartAds are smart enough to realise what I truly want.
