  • vibhash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I signed up for the service few hours back....lets how the advertisers respond to it:)
  • bobrboob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Well you're not going to get the clickthrough rate you otherwise would, however if you're advertising via RSS you're going to be reaching innovators, bloggers, and smarter people in general.
  • podious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually, I didn't start using Bloglines and RSS to get away from the ads. I use it to keep up with the latest content on my favorite web sites, which is the main reason why I think most people use RSS and Bloglines.
  • drumnbass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wonderful - those of us who have retreated from viewing actual websites because of over zealous advertising will now have our RSS awash with annoying crap, too. Note to those implementing advertising on their sites: you're very often driving people away.
