I was willing to accept the fact that RSS feeds would eventually be peppered with advertisements. Over the last few months I have seen more and more
ADV: popping up in my RSS aggregator. While I can tolerate a few advertisements here and there, I was amazed yesterday to see that a feed I'm receiving from a technology news site,
SiliconValley.com, was
ALL ads. This is a bit crazy. Was my first reaction to follow one of those links? No way. The first thing I did was to drop my RSS subscription with them. Maybe they made a mistake or maybe stats are showing people only subscribing to RSS feeds and not visiting the site so they have to get their ads out some other way. In any case it ain't gonna work for me.
