Ads in Journals...still sucking

For the Anti-Ads folks.....we're trying, trying our hardest to get some options presented to the decision makers. We're also trying to get in the loop to review future responses to the press when it pertains to this product.

In the Army, and when units are "over here" instead of "over there," some units will make a training opportunity out of "promoting" a lower-level soldier to "First Sergeant for a Day" or "Commander for a Day."

Some of the changes these lower-level troops come up with are actually very ingenious and present great solutions to problems.

I don't suppose AOL would go out of their way to listen to your recommendations - and actually solve a major customer service SNAFU?

Yoel,

That is - a journal that AOL deleted over a TOS violation that AOL later-admitted (and is now giving my 18-months of free service because of) did not exist.

I'd like to suggest that when the PR people talk to the press in the future, they're more accurate. Unless someone (I don't recall her name) was misquoted, the comment that the ads were in keeping with other free blogging services were laughable. I have both Blogger and LiveJournal blogs and both are ad-free. Blogger removed its ads when it put in the top navbar in mid-2004. And these are both very popular, widely-used free blogging services.

options: 1. get rid of the ads.  2.  makes them so small that you would need a magnifying glass 3.  list the names of the exec so communication can be direct.  

and press releases...what freaking number was she using? this is the Internet, did she think that throwing a random number would get pass people?
