Evan Williams mentions a poll on Kuro5hin about text ads. The top thing people want is to be able to make comments on ads. Evan’s thought about this, I think it sounds like an amazing idea. Imagine people being able to comment on a product or service they used when they saw an ad for it. My guess is you’d get a lot of extremes, people who either loved or hated the product. I think it would be great to see an ad and be able to instantly know what people think of the product/company.

Would it make a difference? I think it could. It could have a few side benefits, the least of which is letting companies know what people think of them. It could be quite beneficial. At least until companies started adding in comments of their own to praise themselves (but there has to be a way to work around that.)

Well, I’m pissed. I just got my first bit of spam mail on my new account. Though I guess it is somewhat expected. The change of mediaone.net addresses to attbi.com addresses is fairly well known at this point. I’m sure spammers just did a search and replace. It’s still annoying.

and the world has turned around again.

On April 10th I’ll be spinning again at the Phoenix Landing. This time I have the honor of opening for Steve Porter. I’m pretty psyched for this. I’ve seen Steve spin a few times and enjoyed him each time.

I finally set up my audiotron to play music from over the net. It can now play music from shoutcast, icecast, or windows media streams. Pretty slick. I’ve got it playing some Jazz right now while I do some cleaning.

A man in a Tampa, FL mall strolled around giving dollar bills to anyone who wanted one. He just does it to brighten people’s day and spark some generosity.
