I don’t have a problem with targeted ads; why do I have to look at five hundred “lavalife” ads when I’m happily married? It’s just a waste of bandwidth. But targeted ads has to mean fewer ads, and the personal info has to stay on MySpace servers with only the category/subcategory going to the ad server.

ROFL “Sort of like this online comic” as if you didn’t create that comic yourself. If you’re going to spam and pretend you’re not, at least remember not to use your real first name when you post your spammy links.

I imagine that soon MySpace users will be judged not only on the basis of their blog entries, but also by the coolness of the ads on their pages. Sort of like in this online comic: http://www.itgumbo.com/mumbogumbo/2007/09/myspace_to_target_ads_based_on.php
