No Pop Ups On Google

from the thank-you-thank-you-thank-you dept

Thank goodness for Google. It’s just a bit upsetting that I’m so surprised and so happy that a company has officially come out against popup ads. However, Google said today that (as we all know already) pop up ads are simply annoying and they’ll have nothing to do with them. Google wins points for realizing that pissing off your users is no way to run a business. Why so few businesses understand that concept is beyond me. Contrast that with Yahoo who has stated publicly that their ads are not yet intrusive enough and you can see the different cultures at work.
