I've posted on facebook. What I do like is blogger.com I've been writing about endangered species in various parts of the world. I think the blogs I've created are good, and do a lot
to raising awareness of animals. If I can just get it where it get posted to google. Any
suggestions, email me at:

It is dumb to think that the online ad is truly an endangered species.

True. It's a delicate balance. I think Facebook has already stepped over the line once with Beacon. They saved that one on the goal line.

Thank you for your comment Dan.

I don't think we'll see an end to web advertising in the forseeable future, if ever. The advent of context specific advertising has been just too profitable for all companies and individuals involved. Advertisers get a premium, people who place ads on their site get a cut and the people who's product/service is being advertised get extra business, a win-win-win situation.

I do however think that facebook and MySpace are performing a dangerous balancing act. Too few adverts threaten their profits, too many threaten their userbase.

Good post, interesting points.
