[Sigia-l] kill pop-ups & sell pop-up killers

[David Heller]

If people want an instant and free popup blocker (that is also very useful),
just add a google toolbar to your IE and you are all set! 

Www.google.com (go to the bottom of the page and click on tools).

Enjoy!

or "using research to justify strategy the Machiavelli way"

    "Microsoft drops pop-up ads"
    http://media.guardian.co.uk/newmedia/story/0,7496,1150214,00.html

"Microsoft announced it would remove pop-ups from its US sites last year and
the extension of the policy worldwide follows a report by Forrester
Research, which found that 64% of US internet users found pop-up ads
irritating and 28% avoided sites that allowed advertisers to use them."

I heard through the grapevine that the next IE version will have built in
pop-up blocking features (can anyone confirm?) Interesting strategy, I mean,
coincidence; that pop-ups are annoying we've known for a while, but to use
that information to justify sending advertisers away is a different thing
altogether... thoughts?
